Exloo (Low German: Eksel) is a village in the province of Drenthe, Netherlands, part of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn. It lies about 12 km north of Emmen.
== History == The village was first mentioned in 1376 as "tot Exle", and means "forest of the oak trees". Exloo is an esdorp which developed in the Middle Ages probably from Odoorn. It has three essen (communal pastures), but no church. The peat in the raised bog near Exloo was excavated around 1800. In 1850, it turned into an industry and excavation villages such as 1e Exloërmond and 2e Exloërmond were established.
