Yes. In early Jainism there is a strong tradition of biographical material about Tirthankaras and great monks, preserved in both Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions. These are often called purāṇas or caritra literature and appear as proto-biographies within older canonical layers, as well as in later late antique–medieval purāṇic works.

Key points:

• Proto-biographies in the early canon: The Śvetāmbara canon and related Śramana texts contain narrative accounts of Mahavira and other Tirthankaras embedded in the sutras (for example, in the Ayārānga/sutta sections). These are not standalone modern biographies but early life-narratives woven into the canonical material. ( jainqq.org)
• The great purāṇas in Digambara tradition: Later Digambara literature expands these life-stories into full-fledged purāṇas, such as the Adipurāṇa (the life of Rishabhanath) and the Uttarapurāṇa (the later Tirthankaras), as well as other biographical works like Harivaṁśa purāṇa and Pandavapuraṇa. These works are explicitly biographical in genre and aim to trace lineage, deeds, and spiritual journeys. ( britannica.com)
• Notable early examples:

- Adipurāṇa and Uttarapurāṇa: concluded by Acharya Jinasena and later Gunabhadra, detailing the lives of the 24 Tirthankaras starting with Adinath/Rishabhanath. This is a foundational Digambara biographical corpus. ( britannica.com) - Harivaṁśa Purāṇa: a Digambara text by Jinasena that narrates some Tirthankara life-stories and related legendary material. ( en.wikipedia.org) - Ajita Purāṇa, etc.: regional/canonical-purāṇa traditions in various languages (e.g., Kannada) that recount Tirthankara biographies and related deeds. ( en.wikipedia.org)

• Śvetāmbara vs. Digambara differences: Both traditions use biographical material, but they diverge in which works they regard as canonical, the exact dating of the texts, and how literally to treat the life-narratives. The Śvetāmbara corpus emphasizes its own set of Āṅgas, Upāṅgas, and purāṇic narratives, while the Digambaras have their Adipurāṇa/Uttarapurāṇa and related biographical compendia. The canon and its biographical portions are a major point of traditional distinction between the two sects. ( britannica.com)

If you’d like, I can point to specific biographical texts within the Jain canon and summarize their conveyed life-stories in a way that stays true to Jain doctrinal aims.
