Acre Harbor was the main port of Acre, located in the middle district of the city, and had was of strategic importance to the Crusader cause and Richard I of England during the Third Crusade.

The harbor covered a huge area and possesses two lighthouses located in the east and the south of the docks. It is separated from the rest of the city by huge walls, only accessible through two gates known as Saint John's Gate.

In 1191, the Templar Sibrand planned a blockade of the harbor in order to prevent King Richard from getting overseas aid. However, the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad infiltrated the harbor and assassinated Sibrand on his own ship.
