Kerry Bishé grew up in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, in the United States. She graduated from Montclair Kimberley Academy, where her father, Kenneth Bishé, taught social studies, and then enrolled at Northwestern University in 2006.

Bishé toured professionally with Montana Shakespeare in the Parks during the summer of 2004, performing the role of Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. She also appeared in a 2006 production of Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape and in the Roundabout revival of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. Bishé made her screen debut in 2007 when she portrayed Sarah Rosen in The Half Life of Mason Lake, a low-budget production. After appearances as an extra in the first film adaptation of Sex and the City and The Lucky Ones, and a small role in The Understudy (2008), Bishé was cast in Night Life, a television pilot directed by Scrubs star Zach Braff. The production did not make Bishé well-known, but did introduce her to Braff, with whom she later worked on Scrubs. In 2009, Bishé had a number of television roles, appearing in an episode of the American version of Life on Mars, an episode of the USA comedy drama series Royal Pains, and in the lead role in the TV movie made from the failed pilot of the proposed sci-fi series Virtuality. In December 2009, Bishé took on the lead role on the ABC medical sitcom Scrubs, that of Lucy Bennett, the show's new narrator, taking over from Zach Braff. ABC cancelled the show May 14, 2010. Bishé costarred in the independent film Nice Guy Johnny (2010) with Edward Burns and Matt Bush. She also played a supporting role in Kevin Smith's horror film Red State (2011) and in Ben Affleck's drama film Argo (2012). In 2013, she co-starred with Elijah Wood in the independent film Grand Piano. From 2014 to 2017, Bishé starred as Donna Clark in the AMC period drama series Halt and Catch Fire. Coincidentally, her character's husband in Halt and Catch Fire is portrayed by Scoot McNairy, who also played her spouse in Argo (2012). In season three of Narcos, she played Cristina Jurado, the American wife of the Cali Cartel's Harvard-educated money launderer Franklin Jurado. In 2023, Bishé returned to theatre, starring in the Steven Soderbergh-produced play The Fears.

Bishé is married to actor Chris Lowell. The couple have a daughter.
