Delpy was born in Paris, France, the only child of Albert Delpy and Marie Pillet. Both her parents were actors in feature films and the avant-garde theater, and her father was a theater director. Her father grew up in Vietnam, Cambodia, and West Africa where his father held administrative positions with the French colonial government.
On the stages of Paris, Delpy's parents were involved in underground theater. At an early age, Julie was exposed to the arts. "I couldn't hope for better parents. They really raised me with a love of art, bringing me to museums and seeing things that a child wouldn't see at that age. I would see Ingmar Bergman movies when I was 9 and totally go for it. And they would bring me to see Francis Bacon's paintings, which I loved: so dark and at the same time it's so wonderful".
Encouraged to perform by her bohemian-minded parents, Delpy made her stage debut at the age of five.
