No, a positron is not a nucleon.
The term nucleon is applied to one of the two constituent particles that make up the nucleus of an atom. Those are the proton and the neutron, which are baryons.
Whereas, positrons is a subatomic particle having the same mass as an electron but with an electric charge of +1 (an electron has a charge of −1).It constitutes the antiparticle of an electron. We don't see antimatter particles of any kind hanging around long in our "reality" here. (They "combine" with their antiparticles, and mutual annihilation will occur.)
Should we investigate an antimatter universe, the positron will orbit the nucleus of an antimatter atom, just like the electron does in the atoms we look at. Naturally the nucleus of an antimatter atom will be composed of anti-protons and anti-neutrons.

What is the term for any particle found in the nucleus?
nucleon
When does a nucleon have more mass?
A nucleon has more mass when it is not bound to the nucleus of an atom. When the nucleon is bound to other nucleons the binding energy that keeps them together comes from the mass of the nucleon. Therefore the mass of a single nucleon will be smaller in an atom than on it's own.
What is the antimatter version of an electron?
positron
Does positron have a negative charge?
A POSITron has a POSITive charge, hence the name. A positron is an anti-electron; since the electron has a negative charge, the positron has a positive charge.A POSITron has a POSITive charge, hence the name.

What is the antiparticle of a positron?
The antiparticle of a positron is an electron. Both the positron and electron have the same mass but opposite charge, with the positron having a positive charge and the electron having a negative charge.
Where does the positron produced during positron emission come from?
In positron emission, the positron is produced from the nucleus of an atom when a proton is converted into a neutron and a positively charged positron. This process helps to make the nucleus more stable by decreasing the number of protons.

Is the protron a nucleon?
Yes, the proton is a nucleon. The term nucleon is used to speak of component particles of the nucleus of an atom. That means either a proton or a neutron. The term nucleon can be applied to either the proton or neutron when speaking of these particles as building blocks of atomic nuclei. Use the link to the related question below for more information.
