In its pure form no- its normally encountered as a gas or as a solid (dry-ice) at some pressures it is a liquid but I do not believ that to be conducting.

In water it dissolves to give carbonate, CO32- and hydrogen carbonate ions, HCO3- so in those circumstances yes it can be considered to be one.
