Alicia Witt was born on August 21, 1975, in Worcester, Massachusetts. She has one brother named Ian Rob Witt who is also an actor, and her parents are Robert and Diane Witt. Her mother was in the Guinness Book of World Records from 1988 to 1996 for having the world's longest hair. Witt was home schooled and she received her high school diploma when she was only 14 years old.

Witt's acting career began when she was just 4 years old. She made her TV debut in an episode of That's Incredible in 1980. She recited some of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet for the show, which caught the attention of filmmaker David Lynch. He subsequently cast Witt in his 1984 film Dune. Witt then steered away from acting to focus on her studies. She studied piano at Boston University and won several national and international classical piano competitions, including the Bartok-Kabalevsky International Piano Competition.

After earning her high school diploma at age 14, Witt moved to Los Angeles at 15 to pick up where she left off with her acting career. In 1990, she re-teamed up with David Lynch and appeared in episodes of two of his television series, Twin Peaks and Hotel Room in 1993. In 1994, she won a starring role in the drama Fun, which earned her an award at the Sundance Film Festival and a part in "The Missing Ingredient" segment of 1995's Four Rooms. Also in 1995, Witt was seen in the musical drama Mr. Holland's Opus starring Richard Dreyfuss, and she won her claim-to-fame role playing the daughter of Cybill Shepherd on the TV series Cybill. She stayed on the show until its end in 1998.

In 1996, Witt made an appearance in Alexander Payne's Citizen Ruth starring Laura Dern playing a pregnant drug addict. In 1998, the year Cybill ended, Witt was seen playing a college student trying to solve the mystery of recent campus murders in the horror film Urban Legend. Witt's next notable roles came in 2000, as she was seen in a guest role on the HBO series The Sopranos, in the comedy Cecil B. DeMented with Stephen Dorff and Melanie Griffith, and in a recurring role on Ally McBeal.

Witt next took a role in Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky in 2001, before co-starring opposite Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock in the romantic comedy Two Weeks Notice in 2002. After a lull in her career she came back strong in 2005 playing one of Joan Allen's four daughters in the drama film The Upside of Anger. The following year, she played the suspicious mistress of Timothy Hutton in Last Holiday starring Queen Latifah. Witt will next appear in the 2007 film 88 Minutes with Al Pacino.
