The Canadian Coast Guard Exemplary Service Medal (French: Médaille pour services distingués de la Garde côtière canadienne) is a service medal created in 1991 by the Canadian monarch-in-Council to recognize members of the Canadian Coast Guard or a supporting organisation who had served for 20 years, 10 years of which was spent in operations that involved possible personal risk. It is, within the Canadian system of honours, the third lowest of the exemplary service medals.
