The 60-year-old Italian was sent to the stands by referee Kevin Friend in stoppage time after losing his cool during the closing moments of a heated clash at Stamford Bridge on Monday.
Sarri went out of his technical area to contest a decision made by Friend.
The FA confirmed the sanction in a statement on Thursday.
Sarri's assistant Gianfranco Zola said Burnley's backroom staff had "offended" Sarri while Chelsea's David Luiz and Burnley's Ashley Barnes were involved in a scuffle after the final whistle at Stamford Bridge.
Afterwards Luiz accused Burnley of being "anti-football".
Burnley issued a statement saying they had drawn a line under the matter.
"Issues arising between both benches during Monday night's Premier League match at Chelsea have been resolved between the coaches and clubs, and a line has been drawn under the matter," the statement said.
