繇年十九,從父韙為賊所劫質。繇篡取以歸,由是顯名。舉孝廉,為郎中,除下邑長。時郡守以貴戚托之,遂棄官去。州辟部濟南,濟南相中常侍子,貪穢不循,繇奏免之。平原陶丘洪薦繇,欲令舉茂才。刺吏曰:「前年舉公山。奈何復舉正禮乎?」洪曰:「若明使君用公山於前,擢正禮於後,所謂御二龍於長塗,騁騏驥於千里,不亦可乎!」會辟司空掾,除侍御史,不就。避亂淮浦,詔書以為揚州刺史。時袁術在淮南,繇畏憚,不敢之州。欲南渡江,吳景,孫賁迎置曲阿。術圖為僭逆,攻沒諸郡縣。繇遣樊能、張英屯江邊以拒之。以景、賁術所授用,乃迫逐使去。於是術乃自置揚州刺史,與景、賁並力攻英、能等,歲余不下。漢命加繇為牧,振武將軍,眾數萬人。孫策東渡,破英、能等。繇奔丹徒,〈袁宏《汉纪》曰:刘繇将奔会稽,许子将曰:“会稽富实,策之所贪,且穷在海隅,不可往也。不如豫章,北连豫壤,西接荆州。若收合吏民,遣使贡献,与曹兗州相闻,虽有袁公路隔在其间,其人豺狼,不能久也。足下受王命,孟德、景升必相救济。”繇从之。〉遂泝江南保豫章,駐彭澤。笮融先至。〈笮音壮力反。〉殺太守朱皓,〈《献帝春秋》曰:是岁,繇屯彭泽,又使融助皓讨刘表所用太守诸葛玄。许子将谓繇曰:“笮融出军,不顾(命)名义者也。硃文明善推诚以信人,宜使密防之。”融到,果诈杀皓,代领郡事。〉入居郡中。繇進討融,為融所破,更復招合屬縣,攻破融,融敗走入山。為民所殺。繇尋病卒,時年四十二。
