Australia, chasing 384 to win, collapsed from 264-3 to 334 all out, with England's retiring paceman Stuart Broad taking the final wicket.
England did the bulk of the damage when, after a rain break of more than two hours, they took four Australia wickets for 11 runs in 19 balls.
Off-spinner Moeen Ali took three wickets on his way to innings figures of 3-76 and all-rounder Chris Woakes ended with 4-50.
Broad, England's all-time leading Ashes bowler, then polished off the tail.
Australia, as the holders, had already retained the Ashes but they remain without an Ashes series win in England since 2001.
