The 29-year-old scored 21 league goals for Fulham last season and joins the Midlands side for 12 million pound ($15.95 million), equalling the second highest transfer fee in Aston Villa history.
“I’m delighted to bring Ross on board. He’s a player with proven track record and plenty of experience in the division,” Villa manager Roberto Di Matteo said on the club’s website.
“He is a player whose goal scoring record has been excellent everywhere he has been and we feel he can be an important addition.”
The Scotland international joined Fulham in 2014 after a four-year spell with Leeds United.
