Yes. Their name is, actually, reversed, as they are "whale killers", known to separate calves from the pod & hold it underwater until it drowns. Then they eat it. They are the world's oceans top predator, even as humans are the world's land top predator.

Adult Sperm whales are too large to be attacked or killed by any animal. However the killer whale or Orca as they are more commonly known is known to prey upon youngsters and stray calf's. No animal is large enough to attack and kill a full grown sperm whale.

the sperm whale is not a predator

Correction...

Like other Odontocetes or toothed whales, the sperm whale most certainly is a top-end predator. This is defined by two properties: It preys on other animals, notably high-end predators themselves, and is not part of another species' food chain.

Where are whales in the food chain?

It largely depends on the whale. Toothed whales (such as the Sperm and Killer whales) are usually considered to be apex predators. Due to their size and hunting strategies their only main predator is humans (who are usually disregarded from such systems). Baleen whales (such as the Humpback and Blue whales) cannot be considered such as, though they are often protected by their immense size, their young are regularly hunted by other large predators, especially the toothed whales.
