No. Jupiter is a gas giant. This means, that although there is the theoretical possibility of a solid core, the planet is composed of layers of of light elements (gases at Earth temperatures and pressures) ranging from their gaseous states to their solid states depending on altitude from planetary center (with denser states occurring closer to the center). As such no vulcanism can occur on Jupiter.

How many volcanoes are there on Jupiter's moon Io?
