L'unità periferica dell'Etolia-Acarnania, (in greco Περιφερειακή ενότητα Αιτωλοακαρνανίας) è una delle tre unità periferiche in cui è divisa la periferia della Grecia Occidentale. Il capoluogo è la città di Missolungi, anche se la città maggiore è Agrinio. L'area è ora collegata al Peloponneso dal ponte Rion-Antirion.
Le unità periferiche circostanti sono, a nord, Arta nell'Epiro e, per un breve tratto, Karditsa in Tessaglia, a nord est l'Euritania e a est la Focide, entrambe nella Periferia della Grecia Centrale. L'Etolia-Acarnania è la più estesa della Grecia.
Nel suo territorio, poco a sud di Agrinio, si trovano il lago Trichonida, il più grande lago naturale della Grecia, ed il vicino lago di Lysimachia.
