{{short description|3rd-century BC Gallic ruler}}
Acichorius ({{langx|grc|Ακιχώριος}}) was one of the leaders of the Gauls, who invaded Thrace and Macedonia in 280 BC.{{sfn|Smith|1870|p=12}} He and Brennus commanded the division that marched into Paionia. In the following year, 279, he accompanied Brennus in his invasion of Greece.{{harvnb|Smith|1870|p=12}} cites Pausanias, x. 19. § 4, 5, 22. § 5, 23. § 1, &c. Some writers suppose that Brennus and Acichorius are the same persons, the former being only a title and the latter the real name.{{harvnb|Smith|1870|p=12}} cites Schmidt, "De fontibus veterum auctorum in enarrandis expeditionibu's a Gallis in Macedonian! susceptis," Berol. 1834
