Acorn barnacle and acorn shell are vernacular names for certain types of stalkless barnacles, generally excluding stalked or gooseneck barnacles. As adults they are typically cone-shaped, symmetrical, and attached to rocks or other fixed objects in the ocean. Members of the barnacle order Balanomorpha are often called acorn barnacles.

In addition, several species of barnacles are specifically called by the common name "acorn barnacle", including:

Balanus glandula, common acorn barnacle
Balanus nubilus, giant acorn barnacle
Chthamalus antennatus, acorn barnacle
Megabalanus coccopoma, titan acorn barnacle
Megabalanus tintinnabulum, titan acorn barnacle
