Patrick was born in [[Great Falls, Montana]] to an English [[Jewish]] father and [[Thai people|Thai]] mother. While Tera was quite young, her mother moved back to [[Thailand]] to live permanently, and her father moved with her to [[San Francisco, California]] and raised her there himself.

Patrick was discovered in San Francisco by a talent scout for the Eileen [[Ford Modeling Agency]], and at the age of 13 she was signed to a contract to be a model. She moved to [[New York City]] shortly thereafter and her career as a runway and catalog [[model (person)|model]] began. At 18, she left the world of modeling and enrolled at [[Boise State University]]<ref name="pornstarz">[http://www.pornstarz.org/tera-patrick/ Tera Patrick] @ Pornstarz</ref> where she received her associate's (two year) degree in nursing and a BS in Microbiology<ref name="rogreview">[http://www.rogreviews.com/interviews/Tera_Patrick.asp Tera Patrick Interview] at RogReviews.com</ref>. She then transferred to [[University of California, Santa Barbara]], where for financial reasons she began modeling again.

In the late 1990s, Patrick transitioned to appearing in [[nude]] and [[soft-core]] features. In 2000, she made the transition to hard-core [[pornography|porn]] in [[Andrew Blake]]'s ''Aroused''. Since that time, she has become one of the most popular and recognized [[porn star]]s in the world, having graced the pages of ''[[Playboy magazine|Playboy]]'' and ''[[Penthouse magazine|Penthouse]]'', where she was a "Pet of the Month" and was selected as "Pet of the Year" runner-up, as well as having appeared in more than seventy adult features. Tera is noted for her sultry voice and her aroused and enthusiastic portrayals of sex. Because of this, she has won several awards from the adult-movie business organizations. Today, she hosts the popular [[webcast]] ''The Tera Patrick Show'' and she is active in the adult film community, raising money for both the [[Free Speech Coalition]] and A.I.M Healthcare.

Tera has been a frequent and favorite guest of [[Howard Stern]] on his TV and radio programs. She was featured on the cover of the July 2006 edition of the more mainstream ''[[FHM]]'', revealing candid details in an interview inside. Patrick, who had been named one of ''FHM''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s 100 sexiest women, was the first porn star to grace the cover.<ref name="fleshbot">[http://www.fleshbot.com/sex/pornstars/tera-patrick-fhm-covergirl-178006.php Tera Patrick, FHM Covergirl]</ref>
In December of 2002, she severed ties with [[Digital Playground]], and brought suit against them, contending she was not paid for her appearance in several Digital Playground productions. Digital Playground's countersuit contended that it owns exclusive rights to the name "Tera Patrick," and that she is signed up to produce adult entertainment only for them until January 2008. Despite her ongoing lawsuits with Digital Playground, Patrick signed a two-year exclusive contract with [[Vivid Video]] in December 2003.
On [[January 9]], [[2004]], Patrick married [[Evan Seinfeld]], a singer/bassist for the hardcore heavy metal band [[Biohazard (band)|Biohazard]] and an actor best known for his appearance in the series ''[[Oz (TV series)|Oz]]''. They married privately in a small ceremony. Even though Patrick is a porn star, the two were in a monogamous relationship for the past 3 years. Just recently, [[November]], [[2006]], Patrick starred in a [[Vivid Entertainment|Vivid]]/Teravision production titled "Tera Patrick's Fashion Underground" where she performed with [[Jean Val Jean]] and [[Tommy Gunn]]. In the same film her husband, [[Spyder Jonez]], performed with [[Lanny Barby]]. This would be the first time in 3 years that the two have performed on screen with other stars. The two have made five movies for [[Vivid Entertainment|Vivid]] and ten for Teravision (with Seinfeld appearing under the name "[[Spyder Jonez]]").
In [[2005]] Tera and Evan launched a talent agency representing models and actors/actresses. According to a quote on the agency's website, Tera's goal, "is to help girls (and guys) in the business to be treated with respect, and realize their true potential..." She also owns a production company called "Teravision," which along with Vivid Video released its first feature, "Desperate," starring Tera and Evan. In April 2006 it was announced that she would host the Exxxotica Miami convention.<ref name="ainews">[http://www.ainews.com/Archives/Story10284.phtml Tera Patrick To Host Exxxotica Miami]</ref>
To date, Tera has not appeared in any interracial scenes. In an interview with [[Howard Stern]] she said that this is not because she does not like black men, but because it would be detrimental to her career.
Patrick appeared alongside her husband Evan Seinfeld in the 2006 [[reality television]] show ''[[SuperGroup]]'' on the U.S. channel [[VH1]].
She also lent her voice to an animated version of herself on the late-night animated television show, ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]''.
Tera's name is derived from the given name (Tara Patrick) of actress [[Carmen Electra]].
