No. Alpha centaurii or Proxima centaurii (Proxima=Closest in Latin) is the closest star to earth except the sun, with an approx. distance of 4.28 lightyears (the distance that light can travel in 4.28 years). so alpha centaurii is a star not a planet. if it has planets orbiting around it is unknown.
