nihongo|Exile|エグザイル|Eguzairu is a 7-member Japanese pop music band.

Current leader Hiro was originally in the band Zoo that split up in the mid-1990s. In 1999, he started a new group called J Soul Brothers, which later changed its name to Exile in 2001. On artwork and promotional material, the band name is typeset in all capitals. On November 2003, they remade Zoo's hit single "Choo Choo Train" and sold over a million copies.

Exile's latest album, Exile Love, has sold exceptionally well, selling nearly 1.5 million copies in less than four months.
