Hero Fiennes Tiffin was born in London on 6 November 1997, the son of film director Martha Fiennes and cinematographer George Tiffin. He has two siblings. He does not hyphenate his name because his parents were never married. He was educated at Reay Primary School in Lambeth, Emanuel School in Battersea, and Graveney School in Tooting. He is a member of the Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes family; his great-grandfather was Maurice Fiennes, and his maternal uncles are actors Ralph and Joseph Fiennes. His maternal grandparents were photographer Mark Fiennes and novelist Jennifer Lash. Prior to his acting career, Fiennes Tiffin worked as a landscaper and caterer. Fiennes Tiffin made his first film appearance as Spartak in the 2008 drama film Bigga than Ben. He was subsequently cast as 11 year-old Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, out of thousands of young actors who auditioned for the role. Although at least one publication alleged that his family connections alone helped him get the part, director David Yates said he was cast due to his ability to find 'the darker space' in his line readings, and that he did not get the role solely due to his relation to Ralph Fiennes, his uncle, who played Lord Voldemort. However, Yates did admit that the family resemblance was a "clincher". Yates described Fiennes Tiffin as "very focussed and disciplined". He said Fiennes Tiffin "got the corners and dark moods and odd spirit of the character", as well as having a "wonderful haunted quality that seemed to bring Tom Riddle alive on-screen for us".

Following Harry Potter, Fiennes Tiffin appeared in British television roles in Private Peaceful (2012) and Safe (2018), as well as a short independent film called Possession with Intent to Supply (2016).

The last three films were filmed simultaneously in Bulgaria in late 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fiennes Tiffin also played Brooks Gustafson in the action-thriller film The Silencing (2020), Jim Albright in the romantic drama First Love (2022), Santo Ferreira in the historical drama starring Viola Davis entitled The Woman King (2023), and Henry Hayes in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare in 2024. In 2026 he starred alongside his uncle Joseph Fiennes as a teenaged Sherlock Holmes in the Prime Video series Young Sherlock, directed by Guy Ritchie.
