No. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 7(a) defines pleadings:
(1) a complaint;
(2) an answer to a complaint;
(3) an answer to a counterclaim designated as a counterclaim;
(4) an answer to a crossclaim;
(5) a third-party complaint;
(6) an answer to a third-party complaint; and
(7) if the court orders one, a reply to an answer.
Strictly speaking, then, nothing else is a pleading. But many lawyers call just about anything that they file in court a pleading. Even then an order would not be a pleading because an order is issued by the court.
