The Kinichna Acropolis is a triadic pyramidal complex in southern Quintana Roo, Mexico, located 2 km north of Dzibanché and considered part of the same Snake Kingdom precinct. The complex was built during the Early Classic between approximately 250 and 600 CE, in a stepped triadic plan of three pyramids on a single elevated platform — a configuration originating in the Late Preclassic at El Mirador and continued at Caracol and elsewhere. The central pyramid rises about 25 metres above the platform and is constructed of cut limestone faced with stucco. The site's name in Yucatec Maya means "House of the Sun" and refers to the sun-mask sculpture associated with the upper temple. Excavations by Enrique Nalda for INAH in the 1990s exposed the principal stairway and platform sequence and confirmed the triadic plan.

The Kinichna Acropolis is a triadic pyramid grouping carrying the architectural plan of El Mirador eight centuries forward into the Classic Maya world.
