Het verzetsmonument in Exloo (gemeente Borger-Odoorn) is opgericht ter nagedachtenis aan vijf verzetsstrijders die hier op 14 september 1944 door de bezetter zijn gefusilleerd.
De verzetsstrijders kenden elkaar niet. Zij werden afzonderlijk in de loop van september 1944 gearresteerd. Vervolgens werden ze gevangen gezet in een kamer aan de voorzijde van het Scholtenhuis in Groningen. Op 19 september 1944 werden zij allen in de boswachterij Exloo gefusilleerd. Eén persoon overleefde de schietpartij en werd vrijgelaten.
Het verzetsmonument in Exloo (gemeente Borger-Odoorn) is een houten kruis.
Op het herdenkingskruis zijn de namen en de geboorte- en overlijdensdata van vijf verzetsstrijders aangebracht.
Het monument bevindt zich in de boswachterij Exloo, ingang Burg. J. v. Rooijenpad te Exloo (gemeente Borger-Odoorn). De boswachterij ligt op de Hondsrug, tussen Emmen en Borger.
