No. Napalm is the name given to any of a number of flammable liquids used in warfare, often jellied gasoline (as by Wikipedia's definition). A chemical weapon is one that does not cause physical damage from blast or fire. Instead it releases a chemical agent that is harmful to humans.

Napalm is a petroleum fire (GI's in Vietnam called it a gasoline fire); so it is both, if one wishes to call petroleum a chemical.
