The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Płonno is a brick branch church in Barlinek municipality, Myślibórz County. It belongs to the parish of St Boniface in Barlinek. It was built in the 19th century and formerly served Protestants.
The church is built of brick on a rectangular plan, with a polygonal chancel and a square tower on the west side.
