Deux-Acren is a village of Wallonia and a district of the municipality of Lessines, located in the province of Hainaut, Belgium.

In 1270 the name "Akeren" was used. On a map from 1540 the village was called "Okeren".

The municipality Deux-Acren was created in 1804 by merging the two villages Acren-Saint-Martin and Acren-Saint-Géréon.

The parishes merged in 1828 and the church of Saint Martin became the new church of the parish. The church of Saint Gereon was demolished in the 19th century to make way for a churchyard.

Deux-Acren remained a municipality until the fusion of the Belgian municipalities in 1977 when it was added to the town of Lessines.
