Brighton 1-5 Stoke Adam Rooney's hat-trick gave Stoke victory and ensured Brighton finished bottom of the Championship table.
Rooney opened the scoring by slotting home from a Dave Brammer corner, then met Josip Skoko's pass for his second.
Mamady Sidibe's drilled shot from a Rooney pass made it 3-0 and Sidibe returned the favour to allow Rooney to score his third goal from eight yards.
Substitute Peter Sweeney added a fifth before Doug Loft grabbed a late consolation for the Seagulls.
Brighton boss Mark McGhee:
"It was a painful defeat and hard to bear, but it was also an irrelevance. Our season ended with the defeat against Sheffield Wednesday.
