Amanda Leigh Moore was born on April 10, 1984, in Nashua, New Hampshire. Her mother, Stacy, is a former newspaper reporter and her father, Don Moore, is a pilot for American Airlines. Shortly after Moore was born, the family relocated to Seminole County, Florida, outside of Orlando, where Moore grew up with her two brothers, Scott and Kyle. Moore has Irish and Cherokee heritage on her father's side; her maternal grandfather was Jewish and her maternal grandmother was English. She was raised in the Catholic religion (although she is no longer a practicing Catholic) and attended Bishop Moore Catholic High School and Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs.

Moore started singing and acting when she attended a summer musical theater camp at the age of nine. She also spent seven years performing as a cheerleader for Pop Warner football. Her interest in show business drove her to take voice lessons and audition for plays at local theaters. With her parents' support, she eventually went on to co-star in a dozen plays.

Moore's route to fame started when she was named the "National Anthem Girl" because she sang The Star-Spangled Banner for all major sports teams and for Chris Evert's Pro-Celebrity Tennis Tournament. She quickly became involved in national commercials, TV pilots and voice-overs, including the voice of "Ducky" for the Universal Studios California Land Before Time attraction. Moore also entered the fashion world appearing as a model in a Mexican teen magazine.

During the recording of a theme song for a TV pilot, she received an offer to complete a full demo by a producer who took notice of her. A talent scout came in when she was recording and sent an unfurnished demo to David McPherson, Senior Vice President of Urban A&R for Epic Records/550. McPherson liked what he heard and flew down to hear the young star sing. After receiving a couple of other offers, the bright young star decided to sign a deal with Sony Music.

Moore toured with the Backstreet Boys throughout 1999. Her first album, So Real, was released in December of that year and reached number thirty-one on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart. So Real was certified platinum in the U.S. in early 2000 and sold nearly one million copies. Moore's debut single "Candy" peaked just outside the top forty on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and was certified gold.

Moore released I Wanna Be with You, a re-worked version of her debut album, in May 2000. The album, which was mostly completed with synthesizers, bass, guitar, and drums, comprised new songs alongside tracks and remixes from So Real. It peaked at number twenty-one on the Billboard 200, was certified gold in the U.S. and sold nearly 792,000 copies. The title track "I Wanna Be with You" was the album's only single and reached number twenty-four on the Hot 100, Moore's highest peak to date. It was also featured on the soundtrack of the film Center Stage (2000).

Moore released the self-titled album Mandy Moore — which included the songs "Saturate Me" (a hip-hop ballad), "You Remind Me" and "In My Pocket" — in June 2001. The album debuted at number thirty-five on the Billboard 200, was later certified gold in the U.S. and sold 443,000 copies.

In October of 2003, Moore released her fourth album Coverage. It consisted of covers of 1970s and 1980s songs that influenced Moore as a child; Moore noted that she did not want to "top the original artists," but rather offer her "own interpretation" of their music. Coverage peaked at #14 on the Billboard 200 (her highest ranking to date), but "Have a Little Faith in Me," its only single, did not perform well on the charts, although it debut within the top forty. Moore's cover of "I Feel the Earth Move" appeared on Love Rocks, a compilation CD of songs from gay rights supporters.

Because of low sales for Coverage, Sony's Epic Records dropped Moore. The company released the hits compilation album The Best of Mandy Moore, which reached number 148 on the Billboard 200, in November 2004 as a final obligation to Moore's contract.

Moore stated in early 2006 that she missed her music career and that singing is what she is the "most passionate about." According to her official website, she is collaborating with artists including Chantal Kreviazuk, Michelle Branch, and Rachael Yamagata on a new album.

During the summer of 2000, Moore hosted a half-hour MTV talk show, The Mandy Moore Show, which resumed in the summer of 2001 under the title Mandy. Moore was also a Neutrogena spokesperson, appearing in commercials and print ads for the product. She has modeled for Coach handbags in Japan and was a spokesperson for the School and Youth Programs of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

In 2001, Moore appeared in a small part as the mean and popular cheerleader Lana Thomas opposite actresses Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews in the film The Princess Diaries. During the film, Moore's character performs "Stupid Cupid," a song from the film's soundtrack. In 2002, Moore had her first starring role in a major feature film in A Walk to Remember, which co-starred Shane West. Based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, the film revolves around the developing romance between a Protestant minister's daughter (played by Moore) and an unruly teenager. The film was considered a moderate success, bringing in $41 million in the United States, and establishing Moore's status as a lead actress. At that summer's MTV Movie Awards, Moore won an award for "Breakthrough Female Performance" for her role. The same year, she voiced the Final Fantasy VII character Aerith Gainsborough in the Square Enix-Disney crossover video game Kingdom Hearts, was featured in the music video for Elton John's "Original Sin."

In 2003, Moore starred in the romantic comedy film How to Deal, which failed to draw in the teenage crowds in the U.S. and grossed a total of $14 million domestically. Her next film was 2004's Chasing Liberty, a romantic comedy that grossed approximately $12 million. Later that summer, Moore appeared in a lead role in the religion satire Saved!, in which she played Hilary Faye, a proper and popular girl at a Christian school. The film was positively reviewed, though it did not receive a wide release. Moore received praise for her performance, with one critic calling her a "demented delight" and another naming it her best performance to date.

In 2005, Moore lent her voice to the film Racing Stripes. She has appeared on the television series Entourage and guest-starred in two episodes of Scrubs in 2006. The same year, she lent her voice to The Simpsons, playing the dominatrix Tabitha Vixx in an episode aired in May.

In April 2006, Moore appeared in the parody film American Dreamz, in which she plays a deranged contestant on a television series modeled after American Idol. American Dreamz opened at number nine at the U.S. box office and received mixed reviews.

In 2007, Moore was seen in Because I Said So, co-starring Gabriel Macht, Lauren Graham and Diane Keaton. That same year, she starred in License to Wed co-starring John Krasinski as her fiance and Robin Williams as a minister. In the film, she portrays a young bride-to-be who has to complete a three-week prenup course before her wedding.
