No, being Latina refers to a person from Latin America or with a Latin American heritage, while being Puerto Rican specifically refers to someone from Puerto Rico, which is a territory of the United States located in the Caribbean. Puerto Ricans can be considered Latina if they are of Hispanic/Latin American descent, but not all Latinas are Puerto Rican.
