Dalian of Acasia Flowers (in Japanese: アカシヤの大連, literally "Dairen of Acasia") is a novel written by a Japanese author, Takayuki Kiyooka. It is about a youth and his life in Dalian, China, when it was Japan's leased territory.

Written in 1965, it won Kiyooka an Akutagawa Prize in 1969. He wrote this story against a Dalian background, when his first wife, whom he had married in Dalian, died. He also wrote many other stories about Dalian.
