萧鸾自小父母双亡,由萧道成抚养,萧道成对其视若己出。宋顺帝时,萧鸾担任安吉令,以严格而闻名;后迁淮南、宣城太守,辅国将军。齐高帝时任西昌候、郢州刺史;齐武帝萧赜时升任侍中,领骁骑将军。萧赜死时,以萧鸾为辅政,辅佐萧昭业。
自从文惠太子萧长懋于493年死后,萧鸾便有争夺帝位之心;萧鸾在494年废杀萧昭业,改立其弟萧昭文;不久又废萧昭文为海陵王自立为帝。萧鸾于494年即位后,便压制宗室力量,并设立典签监视诸王;并且在任期间屠杀宗室,萧道成与萧赜的子孙都被萧鸾诛灭。萧鸾任内长期深居简出,要求节俭,停止各地向中央的进献,并且停止不少工程。
萧鸾晚年病重,相当尊重道教与厌胜之术,将所有的服装都改为红色;而且萧鸾还特地下诏向官府征求银鱼以为药剂,外界才知道萧鸾患病。498年萧鸾病故,葬于兴安陵。
齐书这样形容他:“帝明审有吏才,持法无所借,制御亲幸,臣下肃清。驱使寒人不得用四幅伞,大存俭约。罢世祖所起新林苑,以地还百姓。废文帝所起太子东田,斥卖之。永明中舆辇舟乘,悉剔取金银还主衣库。太官进御食,有裹蒸,帝曰:“我食此不尽,可四片破之,余充晚食。”而世祖掖庭中宫殿服御,一无所改。
性猜忌多虑,故亟行诛戮。潜信道术,用计数,出行幸,先占利害,南出则唱云西行,东游则唱云北幸。简于出入,竟不南郊。上初有疾,无辍听览,秘而不传。及寝疾甚久,台省府署文簿求白鱼以为治,外始知之,身衣绛衣,服饰皆赤,以为厌胜。巫觋云:“后湖水头经过宫内,致帝有疾。”帝乃自至太官行水沟,左右启:“太官若无此水则不立。”帝决意塞之,欲南引淮流。会崩,事寝。”
Qi Shu described him as: "Emperor Ming Officials before the trial there, Chi Fa nothing to borrow, the system pro-Hsing Yu, the subjects as eliminated. Driven by cold person shall use four umbrellas, large depositors and frugal. Stop ancestor played in the new Forest Court, to land to the people . Waste Prince played Wen Higashida, denounced the sale. Yongming Zhou chariot ride in public opinion, noted the tick in the gold and silver is also the main clothing library. too much into the royal government food, there are bound steamer, emperor said: "I eat this not entirely, to break the four, I eat late charge. "The ancestor Ye Ting in the Royal Palace service, nothing changed.
