No, even though accumulated depreciation has a credit balance, it is shown under assets. Accumulated depreciation is a contra T-account to a fixed tangible asset. For example, "Accumulated depreciation machines" is a contra T-account to "Machines". Contra T-accounts are presented together with the T-account they are connected with. Therefore, accumulated depreciation is shown on the debit side with assets. As it has a credit balance, the balance is subtracted. (The sign of a T-account 'flips' when the T-account is included on the opposite side on the balance sheet.)
