Palicki was born in Toledo, Ohio, the daughter of Jeffrey Arthur and Nancy Lee (née French) Palicki. Palicki starred in Legion (2010), and co starred in G. I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) in the lead female role of Lady Jaye. Although initially signed on to star in the Jamie Babbit's 2012 horror film Breaking the Girls, due to production delays and scheduling conflicts, she does not appear in the film. She became one of the principal cast after the midseason break of season 2, continuing until her character was written out of the series near the end of season 3. ABC ordered a pilot episode for a spin off, Marvel's Most Wanted, featuring her character in the lead role, but did not develop it as a series. In July 2016, Palicki was cast as Kelly Grayson in The Orville, a science fiction comedy drama series created by Seth MacFarlane, who also stars in it as Captain Mercer, her character's ex husband. The series premiered on September 10, 2017, and two seasons have aired on FOX. A third season began in June 2022 on Hulu. In 2016, Palicki and her brother, Eric, collaborated on writing their first comic book, titled No Angel, published by Black Mask Studios. The first issue was released November 30, 2016. In 2023, Palicki starred in the Hulu Original film Quasi, released on April 20, 2023.

Palicki has celiac disease. In September 2014, her representative confirmed that she was engaged to stuntman Jackson Spidell, whom she met on the set of John Wick. At the San Diego Comic Con in 2018, it was revealed that she was dating The Orville co star Scott Grimes. The two announced their engagement in January 2019 and married on May 19, 2019, in Austin, Texas. She filed for divorce two months later on July 22, 2019. In mid November of that year, a judge granted Palicki's request to dismiss the filing. Palicki filed for divorce for the second time on July 16, 2020.
