No. Simply put, a hurricane is a specific type of cyclone (i.e. a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph).

Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms which are in turn usually produced by a cyclone or the fronts that may be associated with it. But many cyclones do not produce tornadoes.
