Margot Elise Robbie was born on 2 July 1990 in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. She was raised primarily by her mother, Sarie Kessler, a physiotherapist, after her parents separated when she was young. Her father, Doug Robbie, was a former farm owner and businessman.

Robbie spent much of her childhood on her grandparents' farm in Currumbin Valley. During her early years she developed interests in outdoor activities, including surfing and animal care.

She soon secured a leading role as flight attendant Laura Cameron in the ABC television drama ''Pan Am'' (2011–2012).
