We show that entangled measurements provide an exponential advantage in sample complexity for Pauli channel estimation, which is both a fundamental problem and a practically important subroutine for benchmarking near-term quantum devices. The specific task we consider is to simultaneously learn all the eigenvalues of an n-qubit Pauli channel to +/-epsilon precision. We give an estimation protocol with an n-qubit ancilla that succeeds with high probability using only O(n/epsilon(2)) copies of the Pauli channel, while proving that any ancilla-free protocol (possibly with adaptive control and channel concatenation) would need at least Omega(2(n)(/3)) rounds of measurement. We further study the advantages provided by a small number of ancillas. For the case that a k-qubit ancilla (k
