Best Answer

No. An octopus is of the class Cephalopoda.

An easy distinction: Although classes are marked by having eight legs/arms, one of the qualifying characteristics of an arachnid is an exoskeleton with jointed legs. Cephalopods have an endoskeleton, if any, and octopuses have no skeleton at all.

Octopi do not have a backbone. One of the defining features of all mammals and amphibians is a backbone. Rather than belonging to either of these classes, octopi belong to the class Cephalopoda, which belongs to the phylum Mollusca.
