No. recently. In recent years astronomers have observed magnetic vortices on the sun that have been informally dubbed "solar tornadoes" but they are not actual tornadoes and are driven by different mechanisms from tornadoes on Earth.

How the sun cause tornadoes?

The sun's heat creates temperature differences in the atmosphere which lead to the formation of thunderstorms. These thunderstorms can then spawn tornadoes when strong horizontal winds interact with the updraft of the storm, leading to the rotation and eventual development of a tornado.
