This list of Honorary Graduates of the University of Exeter is a year-by-year list of people recognized by the University of Exeter for their achievements in their given field with an honorary award.^[1]

An honorary degree or a degree honoris causa (Latin: 'for the sake of the honour') is an academic degree for which a university (or other degree-awarding institution) has waived the usual requirements (such as matriculation, residence, study and the passing of examinations). The degree itself is typically a doctorate or, less commonly, a master's degree, and may be awarded to someone who has no prior connection with the academic institution.
