77, 79 & 81 Acheen Street (GPS: 5.41475, 100.33621) is an ensemble of restored shophouses within the World Heritage Site of George Town, Penang. Their plain design, and the fact that they are without a five-foot way, are indicative of their age, which could be early to mid 19th century.

77, 79 & 81 Acheen Street are on the right side of the passageway leading towards the Acheen Street Mosque. Originally, there was another ensemble of three similar shophouses on the left side of the passageway, but these have since been replaced by 55 Acheen Street.
