England Under-21 international Lita had denied the charge.
Lita was accused of head-butting the defender but referee Graham Poll did not see the incident at the time and the FA acted after viewing video evidence.
Royals boss Steve Coppell had defended the striker over the incident, saying that it was impossible to see the incident in enough detail.
Lita will now miss tomorrow's match at Fulham, followed by a trip to Bolton and the home clash against Newcastle.
The disciplinary commission also found Derby's Darren Moore guilty of a violent conduct charge - giving him a four-game ban following an altercation with Leicester's Danny Tiatto.
Tiatto admitted a similar charge and was handed a three-match suspension.
