Lohan grew up in Merrick and Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island after being born in New York City. She began homeschooling in the eleventh grade as her acting career expanded.

Lohan began working as a child model with Ford Models at age three. She appeared in more than 60 television commercials and modeled for brands including Calvin Klein Kids and Abercrombie. Her first recurring television role was Alexandra "Alli" Fowler on the soap opera Another World from 1996 to 1997.

Her feature-film debut came in Disney's The Parent Trap (1998), in which she played the separated twins Hallie Parker and Annie James. The performance earned her a Young Artist Award and a three-film contract with Disney. She followed the film with Disney television projects including Life-Size and Get a Clue.

Lohan's performance opposite Jamie Lee Curtis in Disney's Freaky Friday (2003) brought major critical and commercial success. She played a teenager whose consciousness switches bodies with her mother, and she learned guitar and singing for the role. The film earned her the 2004 MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Performance.

In 2004, Lohan starred in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Mean Girls. Written by Tina Fey, Mean Girls established Lohan as a leading teen star through her role as Cady Heron. She later reunited with the film's cast members Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried for a 2024 Walmart advertising project, in which she again played Cady Heron.

Lohan signed with Casablanca Records after recording songs for film soundtracks.

Her second album, A Little More Personal (Raw), followed in 2005 and reached number 20 on the Billboard 200 before receiving gold certification.

In 2008, her single "Bossy" reached number one on the U.S. Dance Club Songs chart. She later released "Back to Me" in 2020 and appeared on Duran Duran's song "Danceophobia" from the album Paper Gods.

Lohan's career was disrupted during the late 2000s and early 2010s by legal troubles, probation, rehabilitation, and drug and alcohol misuse. Her 2007 films included Chapter 27, I Know Who Killed Me, and Georgia Rule, while production and casting on several other projects were affected by her rehabilitation and legal obligations.

She continued working in films and television, appearing in Labor Pains, Machete, Liz & Dick, and The Canyons. She also returned to television with guest appearances on Ugly Betty, Glee, Anger Management, and 2 Broke Girls. In 2014, the eight-part docuseries Lindsay followed her life and work after she moved to New York City.

Lohan made her stage debut in 2014 in the London West End revival of David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow. She played Karen, a secretary to a Hollywood executive, in a role previously associated with Madonna. Critical responses were mixed, but some reviewers praised her ability to hold the stage.

Lohan expanded into fashion and hospitality during this period.
