प्रेमचंद का जन्म 31 जुलाई 1880 को वाराणसी जिले (उत्तर प्रदेश) के लमही गाँव में एक कायस्थ परिवार में हुआ था। उनकी माता का नाम आनन्दी देवी तथा पिता का नाम मुंशी अजायबराय था जो लमही में डाकमुंशी थे। उनका वास्तविक नाम धनपत राय श्रीवास्तव था। प्रेमचंद (प्रेमचन्द) की आरम्भिक शिक्षा फ़ारसी में हुई। प्रेमचंद के माता-पिता के सम्बन्ध में रामविलास शर्मा लिखते हैं कि- “जब वे सात साल के थे, तभी उनकी माता का स्वर्गवास हो गया। जब पन्द्रह वर्ष के हुए तब उनका विवाह कर दिया गया और सोलह वर्ष के होने पर उनके पिता का भी देहान्त हो गया।” 1921 ई. में असहयोग आन्दोलन के दौरान महात्मा गाँधी के सरकारी नौकरी छोड़ने के आह्वान पर स्कूल इंस्पेक्टर पद से 23 जून को त्यागपत्र दे दिया। इसके बाद उन्होंने लेखन को अपना व्यवसाय बना लिया। मर्यादा, माधुरी आदि पत्रिकाओं में वे संपादक पद पर कार्यरत रहे। इसी दौरान उन्होंने प्रवासीलाल के साथ मिलकर सरस्वती प्रेस भी खरीदा तथा हंस और जागरण निकाला। प्रेस उनके लिए व्यावसायिक रूप से लाभप्रद सिद्ध नहीं हुआ। 1933 ई. में अपने ऋण को पटाने के लिए उन्होंने मोहनलाल भवनानी के सिनेटोन कम्पनी में कहानी लेखक के रूप में काम करने का प्रस्ताव स्वीकार कर लिया। फिल्म नगरी प्रेमचंद को रास नहीं आई। वे एक वर्ष का अनुबन्ध भी पूरा नहीं कर सके और दो महीने का वेतन छोड़कर बनारस लौट आए। उनका स्वास्थ्य निरन्तर बिगड़ता गया। लम्बी बीमारी के बाद 8 अक्टूबर 1936 को उनका निधन हो गया।
