Han föddes som äldsta barnet av nio i en romersk-katolsk familj i Nordirland, och kom genom stipendier att studera vid Queen's University i Belfast, där han ingick i en grupp diktare med bland andra Michael Longley. 1966 släpptes hans första större samling, som fick mycket positiva reaktioner. Heaney mottog nobelpriset i litteratur 1995, och har belönats med flera stora priser. 1998 gavs hans översättning av Beowulf ut. Han avled den 30 augusti 2013 i Dublin efter en tids sjukdom.
