The Kanto Three Great Acalas () is a collective term, recorded in the Japanese history, for the three temples that are dedicated to the Acala ("Unmovable Wisdom King") in Kantō region governed by shōgun.
Narita-san Shinsho-ji Temple (成田山新勝寺) and Takahatafudotake Kongo Temple (高幡山金剛寺) had long been considered as two of the three Acala temples down the ages; however, there have been several versions of what the third temple is.
