Acín is an unpopulated village in Spain, within the municipality of Jaca, in the province of Huesca. It is located in the valley of the Garcipollera, in the Aragonese region of the Jacetania.
It is not inhabited, after having been expropriated in the 1960s for the construction of the Yesa Reservoir, with the intention of replanting it with pine trees to prevent the accumulation of sediments caused by the rains from accelerating the clogging of the newly built reservoir.
