His grandfather, Colonel James Murray Grant, DSO, was decorated for bravery and leadership at Saint-Valery-en-Caux during World War II.

He was educated on a scholarship and played 1st XV rugby, cricket, and football.

In 1979, he won the Galsworthy scholarship to New College, Oxford.

He also starred in his first film, Privileged (1982), produced by the Oxford University Film Foundation.
He received an offer from the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London, to pursue a PhD in art history, but decided not to take the offer because he failed to secure a grant.
After making his debut in the Oxford-financed film Privileged (1982), Grant dabbled in a variety of jobs, such as working as an assistant groundsman at Fulham Football Club, tutoring, writing comedy sketches for TV shows and working for Talkback Productions to write and produce radio commercials for products such as Mighty White bread and Red Stripe lager.
At a screening of Privileged at BAFTA in London, he was approached by a talent agent offering to represent him.
Still intending to begin his MPhil at the Courtauld Institute, Grant declined, but then later reconsidered, thinking that acting for a year would be a good way to save some money for his studies.
Grant first received attention for his roles in acclaimed period dramas such as Maurice (1987), for which he won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor, The Remains of the Day (1993) and Sense and Sensibility (1995).
Grant emerged as a star with Richard Curtis's romantic comedy Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), for which he won the Golden Globe and BAFTA Award for Best Actor.

On Inside the Actors Studio in 2002, Grant credited his mother with "any acting genes that [he] might have".
Both his parents were children of military families, but despite his parents' backgrounds, he has stated that his family was not always affluent while growing up.
He spent many of his childhood summers shooting and fishing with his grandfather in Scotland.
Grant has an older brother, James "Jamie" Grant, a New York-based investment banker.

His mother worked as a schoolteacher and taught Latin, French, and music for more than 30 years in the state schools of West London.
She died at the age of 67 of pancreatic cancer.
During the 2010s, Grant began to take against-type parts, starting with multiple roles in The Wachowskis' science fiction film Cloud Atlas (2012).
He received critical acclaim for his roles in Florence Foster Jenkins (2016) and Paddington 2 (2017), receiving two nominations for the BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor.
He took on television roles in the BBC miniseries A Very English Scandal (2018) and the HBO miniseries The Undoing (2020), earning two nominations for a Primetime Emmy Award for Best Actor.
