1 Corinthians 6:18
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

By Biblical definition, pre-marital sex would be fornication. And as some people here have Scripture references, you can look those up or use a Bible concordance. Fornication is a sin.
Here is a website that will explain in Biblical terms if you are interested: (scroll down toward the bottom of page)

Here's a long list of verses relating to the topic of sex. They're all very helpful, though I don't remember which ones cover fornication specifically:
Genesis 2:21-25
Hebrews 13:4
1 Corinthians 7:3-4
Song of Solomon 7:10-13
1 Corinthians 6:15-16
Genesis 1:28
Deuteronomy 22
Galations 5:19-21
Matthew 5:27-28
Romans 6:23
Isaiah 3:24-26
Isaiah 54:1-7
Deuteronomy 30:11-20
Proverbs 7
Psalms 51:16-17
Hebrews 11:24-25
1 Samuel 20:30
Daniel 1:8-13
1 Corinthians 10:13
James 3:2-4
Romans 12:2
Phillipians 4:8
I know that a lot of these don't actually directly address sex, but there are principles that can be applied to sex in all of them.

You might like this...
Matthew 1:18-25
Joseph didn't want to make Mary a public example...
This means he didn't have his fiance' stoned to death for being pregnant before they consumated their own marriage. That is becuase the foundation for punishments of sexual immorality are set all throught the old testament starting in Leviticus.

Some verse that suggest fornication is wrong:
Acts 15.20 "abstain from...fornication"
1 Corinthians 10.8
1 Thes. 4.3
Jude 1.7
of course, here fornication means a more general sense of sexual sin.

The bible states a lot of things where people are supposed to "read between the lines". Personally I don't think that there's anything wrong with it and I'm an active Christian however that doesn't mean it's not a sin. Really I think it's a judgment call.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1 Corinthians 6:9

It states somewhere, among many other things listed, about fornication in the old testament.

People translate "porneia" as "fornication," and then use that to refer to premarital sex, but it doesn't; it just means "sexual perversity." What exactly IS perverse is left undefined.
If you read the Song of Songs carefully, you'll realize that the lovers are betrothed, but unmarried, and MAN, are they getting it on. So no, the Bible not only doesn't condemn pre-marital sex, it seems to encourage it.

It doesn't. In several places it says to keep away from sexual immorality, but never explicitly "pre-marital sex".
