Timothy Hutton was born in Malibu, California. His father was actor Jim Hutton; his mother, Maryline Adams (née Poole), was a teacher. His parents divorced when Hutton was three years old, and his mother took him and his older sister, Heidi, with her to Boston, and then to her hometown Harwinton, Connecticut. The family returned to California when Hutton was 12. Due to his father's being a prominent film actor, Hutton was often thought to have grown up in the entertainment industry. But he told Bruce Cook of American Film magazine in 1981, "That's not how I grew up at all. My mother took us to Cambridge because she wanted to get her M.A." They later relocated to Berkeley, California. In 1976, when Hutton was 15, he sought out his father and moved in with him in Los Angeles. At Fairfax High School, while playing Nathan Detroit in a school production of Guys and Dolls, he realized he wanted to become an actor. With encouragement from both of his parents, he began acting in television. On June 2, 1979, Jim Hutton died in Los Angeles from liver cancer two days after his 45th birthday. In 1981, Hutton thanked his father during his Academy Award speech, which he had won for his role in the movie Ordinary People.

Timothy Hutton's career began with parts in several television movies, most notably the 1979 ABC TV film Friendly Fire. That year, he also played the son of Donna Reed in the Ross Hunter NBC television film The Best Place to Be. He then made two CBS made-for TV films in 1980: Young Love, First Love with Valerie Bertinelli, and Father Figure with Hal Linden. For his first feature film performance, as Conrad Jarrett in Ordinary People (1980), Hutton won both the Academy Award and the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor. His performance also earned him the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year in a Motion Picture – Male. Immediately following his success, he starred in the acclaimed 1981 ABC television film A Long Way Home co-starring Brenda Vaccaro. Hutton's next feature film, Taps (1981, with George C. Scott, Sean Penn, and Tom Cruise), was popular with critics and audiences. But during the next several years, Hutton was featured in a string of commercially disappointing motion pictures, such as Iceman, Daniel, Turk 182, Made in Heaven, and Q&A, which struggled at the box office. In 1985 he co-starred with Penn in The Falcon and the Snowman, which earned a more positive reception. In 1984, he directed the music video for the song "Drive" by The Cars. In 1989, he made his Broadway stage debut opposite his Ordinary People co-star Elizabeth McGovern in the A.R. Gurney play Love Letters. He followed this with another Broadway role in the Craig Lucas hit comedy, Prelude to a Kiss, which also starred Mary-Louise Parker and Barnard Hughes. During the late 1980s and into the 1990s, Hutton began to take large supporting parts in films, most notably in Everybody's All-American with Jessica Lange and Dennis Quaid and French Kiss with Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline. In 1996, he starred in the ensemble film Beautiful Girls playing opposite 14-year-old Natalie Portman in one of her early standout film roles. Moving on to television, he starred as Archie Goodwin, an assistant to investigator Nero Wolfe in the A&E television series A Nero Wolfe Mystery (2001–2002) adapted from the novels by Rex Stout. Hutton also served as an executive producer for the series, and directed several episodes. His other directing credits include the family film Digging to China (1997). In 2001, Hutton starred in the television miniseries WW3, and in 2006 he had a lead role in the NBC series Kidnapped, playing Conrad Cain, the wealthy father of a kidnapped teenager. He appeared in 13 feature films from 2006 to 2008. Hutton starred in the television series Leverage from 2008 to 2012, where he played former insurance investigator Nate Ford, who led a group of thieves who acted as vigilantes to help ordinary people against corporate and government injustice. In 2014, Hutton was cast opposite Felicity Huffman in John Ridley's ABC crime drama American Crime.

Hutton is one of the owners of the New York City restaurant and bar P. J. Clarke's. In 2003 he became president of Players, a New York actors' club, but he resigned in June 2008 due to work keeping him in Los Angeles. He has also made a few forays into directing, the most famous of which includes the music video for the Cars' hit single "Drive" in 1984. In 2010, he directed the music video for "The House Rules" by country rocker/Leverage co-star Christian Kane. He also directed several episodes of A&E's A Nero Wolfe Mystery, in which he also starred. Hutton starred in a Groupon commercial during the 2011 Super Bowl, which drew public ire for the parodying of the Tibetan resistance movement. The commercials were pulled from rotation on February 10 after continued negative response from the public and activist groups.

Hutton has been married twice. His first marriage (1986–1990) was to actress Debra Winger; they had a son in 1987. Hutton dated Elizabeth McGovern, Diane Lane, Patti Davis, Demi Moore, Mary-Louise Parker, Uma Thurman, and Angelina Jolie. In 2000, he married illustrator Aurore Giscard d'Estaing, niece of former French president Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. Their son was born the following year, in Paris. In July 2009, Us Weekly reported that Hutton and Giscard d'Estaing had separated.

In November 2019, Sera Johnston, a former child model and actress, filed a criminal complaint with the Vancouver Police department accusing Hutton of raping her in 1983, when she was 14. Hutton, who was 22 when the alleged incident occurred, "completely and unequivocally" denied the accusations and filed a criminal complaint against Johnston for extortion. In July 2021, Canadian authorities closed their investigation into Johnston's accusations without filing charges.
