Patrick Fabian is the son of Tom and Mary Lou Fabian. He is of Slovak and Hungarian ancestry through his paternal grandfather. He was born in Pittsburgh and grew up in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. His father worked for the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA). After graduating from Cedar Cliff High School in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, he attended Penn State University and received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Performance. He moved to California, where he earned a master's degree from California State University, Long Beach.

One of Fabian's earliest prominent roles was as Professor Jeremiah Lasky on NBC's Saved by the Bell: The College Years (1993–1994). He was in the main cast of the short-lived television series Valentine (2008–2009), Working Class (2011), and Special (2019–2021). He had recurring roles on Joan of Arcadia, Veronica Mars, Gigantic, and Big Love. Fabian also appeared in the unaired 1997 Dilbert live action pitch pilot. Fabian has appeared in a number of films including The Last Exorcism, and has had a number of guest appearances on high-profile TV shows including Will & Grace and Friends. Fabian was cast to play Howard Hamlin, a main role in the AMC television series, Better Call Saul. Fabian's theatre work in New York includes The Food Chain by Nicky Silver, Humpty Dumpty by Eric Bogosian, Six Degrees of Separation (national tour), and, in Los Angeles, Diva by Howard Gould and Dinner with Friends by Donald Margulies, as well as two seasons at LA's Shakespeare Festival.

• Illustration — Fabian in 2011 Fabian has been a member of SAG-AFTRA's National and Los Angeles Local Board of Directors, running under the Unite for Strength slate. He is married to writer and comedian Mandy Steckelberg. During Better Call Sauls principal photography, Fabian would live with cast members Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn in an Albuquerque house owned by Odenkirk and his wife. Odenkirk mentioned that this was for the actors to keep each other company after filming had finished for the day, as he had lived by himself during the first season and felt a sense of loneliness when he was home. Seehorn stated that the actors and their spouses all knew of and were friends with one another, so all parties were content with the living arrangement. Fabian was known to make his housemates dinner when they came home from filming.
