This is a list of notable footballers who have played for Aston Villa. Generally, this means players that have played 125 or more first-class matches for the club. However, some players who have played fewer matches are also included; this includes the club's founder members, players from the club's pre-Football League days, when they played fewer matches in a season than the present day, and some players who fell just short of the 125 total but made significant contributions to the club's history, e.g. players who have set a club playing record, such as appearance or goalscoring records.

Players are listed according to the date of their first-team debut for the club. Appearances are for first-team competitive matches only; wartime matches are excluded. Substitute appearances included. Statistics correct as of 12 May 2008.
