Exciter Tour was a 2001 concert tour by the English electronic band Depeche Mode in support of the group's tenth studio album, Exciter, which was released in May 2001.

The tour began with a North American leg; the group performed one rehearsal show and two "warm-up" concerts before the official tour began in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in mid-June. The leg continued until mid-August, concluding with two shows in Anaheim, California.

In late August 2001, the group began a European leg, which started in Tallinn and culminated in early November in Mannheim, Germany. This was the final show of the tour; a second European leg had been planned for the summer of 2002 but this never happened. In total, the band played 84 concerts, performing to over 1.5 million people in 24 countries.

The concerts in Paris were filmed and issued in May 2002 on a DVD release entitled One Night in Paris.
