There's a well-regarded biography of Kant by Manfred Kuehn.

Manfred Kuehn's is pretty good.
Well, I can tell you the one that I read, but it's considerably beefy and also pretty expensive.

I would also recommend Ray Monk's biography of Wittgenstein, widely considered to be a fantastic literary achievement.
Annie Cohen Solal's biography of Sartre is also pretty outstanding.
Love, Life, Goethe by John Armstrong is also a fantastic read. Goethe wasn't exactly a philosopher in the traditional sense, but his life was unusually interesting from a philosophical perspective, and this biography is spectacular. One of my favourite books ever.
