Manager Sherwood told the club's official website: "Jose is a player who has been on our radar for some time and we're really pleased to secure his signature.
"He is an experienced player who has played in La Liga and Serie A, two of the strongest leagues in Europe, and from speaking to him I know he can't wait to play for Aston Villa."
Former Spain under-21 international Crespo has also played for Sevilla and Racing Santander as well as having spells in Italy with Padova, Bologna and Verona.
