Selma Blair Beitner was born on June 23, 1972, in Southfield, in the metropolitan area of Detroit, Michigan, the youngest of four daughters of Judge Molly Ann (née Cooke) and Elliot I. Beitner.
Blair had a Jewish upbringing; her Hebrew name is Bat-Sheva. Her father was an attorney, active in the U.S. Democratic Party, and labor arbitrator until his death in 2012 at the age of 82. Her parents divorced when Blair was 23; she subsequently legally changed her surname. She has three older sisters, Katherine, Elizabeth, and Marie Beitner.
Blair attended Hillel Day School, a Jewish day school in Farmington Hills and Cranbrook Kingswood in Bloomfield Hills soon after. She spent her freshman year (1990–1991) in Kalamazoo College, where she studied photography and acted in the play The Little Theater of the Green Goose. At the time, she wanted to be a ballerina and a horse trainer.
At the age of 20 Blair moved to New York City, where she lived at The Salvation Army. She attended New York University (NYU), as well as acting classes at the Stella Adler Conservatory, the Column Theatre, and the Stonestreet Screen Acting Workshop; later, she returned to Michigan to finish her studies. After transferring from NYU, she graduated magna cum laude from the University of Michigan in 1994 with a bachelor of fine arts in photography, bachelor of arts in psychology, and a double major in fine arts and English. Blair then returned to New York City to pursue a career in the arts.
