The visitors bagged two late goals to earn a 3-1 win and all but end Wednesday’s hope of a late play-off push as the Owls now sit in 12th in the Championship with six games to go.
Wednesday went ahead through Gary Hooper, who scored on his first Hillsborough appearance since 2017, before Villa equalised through John McGinn.
Albert Adomah and Tammy Abraham added a second and third for Dean Smith’s side in injury time.
