Acharnae or Acharnai (/əˈkɑːr.n/; Ancient Greek: Ἀχαρναί)[1] was a deme of ancient Athens. It was part of the phyle Oineis.[2]

Acharnae, according to Thucydides, was the largest deme in Attica.[3] In the fourth century BCE, 22 of the 500 members of the Athenian council came from Acharnae, more than from any other deme.[4]
