The Acre Subdistrict (Arabic: قضاء عكا, Qadaa Akka; Hebrew: נפת עכו, Nefat Akko) was one of the subdistricts of Mandatory Palestine. It was located in modern-day northern Israel, having nearly the same territory, as the modern-day Acre County. The city of Acre was the district's capital.

The subdistrict was transformed into Northern District's Acre Subdistrict.
