No, a narwhal isn't a baleen whale. Whales belong to the cetaceous mammalian order that also includes walruses, porpoises, and dolphins. The cetaceous mammalian order is divided into two suborders. One is called Odontoceti, which includes the toothed whales such as Narwhals. The other suborder is called Mysticeti, which includes the baleen whales which use plates to filter food from water.
