No, but it does have a component that is classified as a carbohydrate: The ribose ring.

ATP stands for adenosine-5'-triphosphate. The triphosphate is simply three phosphate groups joined together by phosphodiester bonds. Adenosine is composed of two parts: adenine, which has a dual-ring structure with four nitrogens in the ring and a ribose sugar. All of these are joined together to form ATP.
