No, jaundice is not contagious.

Jaundice is a result of metabolic interruption, often caused by an obstruction of the bile ducts. Because the bile cannot leave the body naturally (in your faeces), it enters the blood stream and turns you yellow.

A common cause of jaundice is gallstones, so jaundice is no more contagious than gallstones!
