No, the word 'our' is not a noun.

The word 'our' is a pronoun called a possessive adjective.

A possessive adjective is a word placed before a noun to describe that noun as belonging to someone or something.

The possessive adjectives are: my, your, his, her, its, our, their.

The possessive adjective 'our' takes the place of a plural noun (or name) or two or more nouns or pronouns for the ones speaking (a first person pronoun).

Example: Our party is being held in ourbackyard.
