Maya Ray Thurman Hawke was born on July 8, 1998, in New York City, to actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. Her parents met on the set of Gattaca (1997), married in May 1998, and divorced in 2005. Hawke has a younger brother, Levon. She also has two half-sisters by her father's second wife, Ryan Shawhughes, and another half-sister by her mother's ex-fiancé, financier Arpad Busson. On her father's side, Hawke is a distant cousin of playwright Tennessee Williams. On her mother's side, she is a granddaughter of Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman and model Nena von Schlebrügge. Schlebrügge's mother, Birgit Holmquist, was also a model, having posed for Axel Ebbe's statue Famntaget, currently in Smygehuk, Sweden. Hawke has dyslexia, which resulted in her changing schools frequently during her primary education before she finally enrolled at Saint Ann's School, a private school in Brooklyn, New York, that emphasizes artistic creativity and does not grade work. The artistic environment eventually led her to acting. Hawke also took part in summer studies at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York. She studied toward a BFA in acting at the Juilliard School for a year before dropping out after accepting her role in Little Women.

Like both her mother and grandmother, Hawke modeled for Vogue at the beginning of her career. She was also chosen as the face of the British fashion retailer AllSaints' 2016/2017 collection. In 2017, she starred as one of several faces in a video campaign for Calvin Klein's underwear range, directed by Sofia Coppola. In September 2022, Hawke modeled for Calvin Klein's FW22 Underwear campaign.

Hawke was Sofia Coppola's choice to play the title role of The Little Mermaid in Universal Pictures's live-action adaptation, but the producers preferred Chloë Grace Moretz. This and other conflicts led Coppola to leave the project in 2015. Moretz eventually dropped out as well, and the film was not produced. • Illustration — Hawke promoting Stranger Things season 5 in 2025 Hawke made her acting debut in 2017 as Jo March in the BBC miniseries adaptation of Little Women.

In August 2019, Hawke released her first two singles, "To Love a Boy" and "Stay Open". The songs were written and recorded by Hawke and Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Jesse Harris. Hawke performed a series of headlining gigs around New York City in early 2020, her first ever solo live performances as a musician. In these shows, Hawke was supported by Benjamin Lazar Davis, Tōth, Will Graefe, and Nick Cianci, respectively. On March 18, 2020, Hawke released the first single, "By Myself", and announced her debut album, Blush, amid the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests.

In March 2026, Hawke released the single "Devil You Know" as the lead single to her May 2026 album Maitreya Corso. Hawke has said that folk music has influenced her music, including Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, and Joni Mitchell. She takes inspiration from "great lyricists" like Cohen and Bob Dylan as, according to her, "music is the best way to communicate poetry".

Hawke has said that she has no denominational beliefs but is "highly optimistic that there is something." Hawke began a relationship with longtime friend and fellow musician Christian Lee Hutson in 2023. They married on February 14, 2026, in New York City. The wedding was attended by many of her Stranger Things costars, as well as Sam Nivola and Kathryn Newton, among others.
