No. An antonym is a word meaning more or less the opposite of a given word.

An analogy is a comparison of situational similarities, such as how the bark of a tree is analogous to human skin: both are external protective layers.

What is the antonym for analogy?

I don't think there is one. An analogy is a special kind of abstract relationship. An antonym, or opposite, means something at the farthest possible extreme away--something at the opposite end of the continuum. But something either is an analogy or is not (and that may even be a matter of interpretation or opinion). There is no meaning to the idea of being the farthest possible thing from an analogy.
