Is false accusation a crime?

If it is on purpose, yes, or if the person who accused the other person did not know what was going on and thought something bad was happening, then no. But if a policeman had proof that someone was a criminal, and the "criminal" explained how he wasn't one and it was a misunderstanding, then that false accusation is okay. But if a paronoid adult was accusing someone across the street for killing his dog with no proof, then it's a crime.
