Luis Enrique's side appeared to be cruising at 2-0 up in the 31st minute, as Lionel Messi and Neymar scored fine goals, but the hosts battled back to stretch their unbeaten run at home to 24 league matches thanks to substitute Gameiro.
Barca looked rampant at times in the first half, Messi putting them ahead with 14 minutes gone before Neymar followed suit just after the half-hour mark with a similarly stylish finish.
But a Claudio Bravo error allowed Ever Banega to net for the hosts seven minutes before the break, spurring Sevilla on for an improved display in the second half.
The hosts' saw a couple of chances go begging, with Carlos Bacca the culprit on both occasions.
But the Colombian's replacement, Gameiro, finished off a trademark counterattacking goal for Unai Emery's side, blowing La Liga's title race wide open following Real's 3-0 defeat of Eibar earlier on Saturday and ending Barca's nine-game winning streak in all competitions.
