I whanau a Peter Hayden Dinklage i te 11 o Hune 1969, i Morristown, New Jersey, ki a John Carl Dinklage, he kaihokohoko inihua, me Diane Dinklage, he kaiako puoro kura tuatahi. I whanau ia me te achondroplasia, he momo whanui o te dwarfism. I tipu ake a Dinklage hei tangata anake i roto i tona whanau i te waahanga Brookside o Mendham Township, New Jersey, me ona maatua me tona tuakana, a Jonathan. I puta tana hoa matua a Jonathan Dinklage mai i te Mason Gross School of the Arts i te Whare Wananga o Rutgers, he kaituhituhi violin mo te puoro puoro a Hamilton. He uri Tiamana me Irish ia. I a ia e tamariki ana, i whakatangihia e Dinklage me tona tuakana nga puoro puoro mo nga taangata o to raatau takiwa.
