Philippe Garrel was born in Boulogne-Billancourt in 1948, the son of actor Maurice Garrel and his wife. His brother, Thierry Garrel, is a producer. The younger Garrel became interested in film and started his career early, influenced by the new work of Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut. At the age of 16, Garrel wrote and directed his first film, Les Enfants désaccordés, in 1964.

In 1968, Garrel was in a relationship with actress Anne Bourguignon, whom he directed in the film Anémone. Bourguignon later used the film's title as her stage name. In 1969, Garrel met German singer and actress Nico when she performed the song "The Falconer" for his film Le Lit de la Vierge (The Virgin's Bed). The couple soon started living together. He first cast Nico in his 1972 film The Inner Scar, which also featured her son Christian. Songs from the soundtrack were included in Nico's album Desertshore, which featured stills from the film on the front and back covers. Nico was featured in a number of Garrel's films after this. Their ten-year relationship ended in 1979. Garrel and actress Brigitte Sy are the parents of actors Louis Garrel and Esther Garrel. He is married to actress-writer Caroline Deruas. On 30 August 2023, Garrel was accused of sexual harassment by five actresses, including Anna Mouglalis and Marie Vialle.
