Kerr was born in Sydney and raised in Gunnedah, New South Wales.{{cite web|url=https://www.businessoffashion.com/community/people/miranda-kerr|title=Miranda Kerr|work=Business of Fashion|date=5 September 2019 }} She is the daughter of Therese and John Kerr. Her mother gave birth to her when 17 years old.{{cite news|url=http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/news-features/TMG10664638/Miranda-Kerrs-mother-on-stepping-out-of-her-model-daughters-shadow.html|title=Miranda Kerr's mother on stepping out of her model daughter's 'shadow'|work=Telegraph|last=Lidbury|first=Olivia|date=9 June 2015 }} She has a brother, Matthew, who is two years younger. Kerr is of English ancestry, with smaller amounts of Scottish and French.{{cite web|url=https://www.hellomagazine.com/profiles/miranda-kerr/|title=Miranda Kerr - Biography|work=Hello! Magazine|date=23 March 2010 }} During her childhood, Kerr "raced motorbikes and rode horses on her grandmother's farm". She describes her early life in the Australian countryside as "very grounding ... there wasn't any pretentiousness and no one really cared what you were wearing. You could just be you."{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071112024315/http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0%2C22049%2C22730119-5006011%2C00.html|archive-date=12 November 2007|url=http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22730119-5006011,00.html|title=Miranda's model life|work=Daily Telegraph|last=Blake|first=Elissa}} As a teenager, she was an exchange student to Virginia, U.S.{{cite web|url=https://www.vogue.com.au/celebrity/interviews/miranda-kerr-husband-evan-spiegel/news-story/1b886eba7046831e81d69de6159fd6b6|title=Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel give a Snap-shot of their Australian life|work=Vogue Australia|date=24 July 2022|last=Israel|first=Katrina}}

Her family moved to Brisbane, Queensland, to allow Kerr and her brother to experience city life. Kerr was initially reluctant to leave her childhood hometown, but her first boyfriend, called Christopher Middlebrook, died in a car accident when they were teenagers and she said it was too painful to stay there.{{cite web|url=https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=DTWEB_WRE170_a_GGL&dest=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailytelegraph.com.au%2Flifestyle%2Fstellar%2Five-accomplished-all-i-want-to-in-modelling-now-its-all-about-family%2Fnews-story%2F10c9041f05238d906b905d03502774e0&memtype=anonymous&mode=premium|url-access=registration|title=Kerr: 'I never took modelling very seriously'|work=The Daily Telegraph}} She graduated from All Hallows' School in 2000. Kerr studied nutrition and health psychology before pursuing modelling.{{cite web|url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/lifestyle/sunday-magazine/mirandas-kerr-ching-factor/story-e6frf039-1225784302273|title=Miranda's Kerr-Ching! factor|work=The Daily Telegraph|access-date=4 April 2012|last=Field|first=Melissa}}

At age 13, Kerr entered and won the 1997 annual Dolly magazine/Impulse model competition. She was flown to Sydney a week before her 14th birthday to shoot for the magazine. Upon Kerr's win, local media expressed "concerned outrage" at her young age. The controversy raised concerns about the glorification of young girls within the fashion, beauty, and entertainment industries.{{cite magazine|url= https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/gallery/miranda-kerr-model-style-fashion-evolution-best-outfits|title= Miranda Kerr's Style CV|magazine=Glamour UK|last=Lyons Powell|first=Hannah|date=26 May 2016|publisher=Condé Nast Britain}}

Some media outlets claimed her Dolly shoot (including images of a 14-year-old Kerr in bathing suits) constituted a form of paedophilia. Of the press, Kerr said: "In the media at the time they were trying to cling on to anything remotely to do with paedophilia. Dolly is a magazine for teenage girls, not for old men. And I was fully clothed! Doing a winter shoot! They just made something out of nothing."{{cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/its-back-young-model-contest-that-caused-a-stir-for-kerr-20120709-21qp2.html|title=It's back: young model contest that caused a stir for Kerr|work=Sydney Morning Herald|last=Hornery|first=Andrew|date=9 July 2012}}

In 2003, Kerr dated finance broker Adrian Camilleri. Following an Australian Securities and Investments Commission investigation, Camilleri was found guilty on five counts of fraudulent behaviour from February 2003 to February 2004.

In response to claims that Kerr is a practising Buddhist, she told The Telegraph, "I'm not Buddhist. I'm Christian. I pray every day. I meditate every day and I do yoga. I'm not religious, I'm spiritual. And praying is something my grandmother taught me as well. To pray and be grateful, have gratitude, is a big thing for me."{{cite web|last1=Grose|first1=Jessica|title=Miranda Kerr: everyone's cup of tea?|url=http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/news-features/TMG10811028/Miranda-Kerr-everyones-cup-of-tea.html|website=The Telegraph|access-date=22 August 2014}}{{cite web|url=https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/miranda-kerr-im-christian-and-i-pray-every-day/|title=Miranda Kerr: 'I'm Christian' and 'I pray every day'|date=12 May 2014|publisher=Fox News|access-date=21 August 2014}}

I like to pray and I like to meditate. Doing just three minutes of prayer and a minimum of five minutes meditation twice a day sets the tone—like an arrow so that you're hitting your target. When I pray I always thank Mother Nature for all the beauty in the world; it's about having an attitude of gratitude. And then I pray to Christ to say, 'Thank you for this day and my family and my health,' and now that I'm older I've added, 'Please illuminate me. Please open my heart chakra. Open my aperture and uplift my consciousness so that I can be the best version of myself.'

She credits meditation, speaking with friends, and writing as ways of dealing with challenges such as the death of her then-boyfriend at age 15, and "makes it a priority to pray about forgiving herself and others."{{cite news|url=http://www.christianpost.com/news/supermodel-miranda-kerr-says-prayer-gratitude-forgiveness-are-daily-rules-she-lives-by-125046/|title=Supermodel Miranda Kerr Says Prayer, Gratitude, Forgiveness Are Daily Rules She Lives By|last=Martinez|first=Jessica|date=19 August 2014|newspaper=The Christian Post|access-date=21 August 2014|quote=The Australian model says she is Christian despite previous reports that she is a practicing Buddhist and believes in the power of forgiveness even in the "little things like looking at someone the wrong way, or snapping at someone." She also notes that she makes it a priority to pray about forgiving herself and others because when she does, it creates an "energy shift" in her life. "Even those that we find challenging to be around are sometimes the people that need the prayers the most," said Kerr. "If you've had an intense conversation with someone, a good thing to do would be to say to them, 'I forgive you, and please forgive me.' We all say things sometimes to hurt people, so it's important to forgive and have peace …"}}
