No. A cyclone is a weather system consisting of a large-scale low pressure area with an organized circulation. Cyclones often bring stormy weather. Storms such as hurricanes are cyclones. The term "tidal wave" can refer to a couple of things and has fallen out of favor among scientists. In most cases it is used to refer to a tsunami, which is a wave triggered by an earthquake or landslide. The term may also refer to a tidal bore, which is a wave that results from the tide rising in a narrow inlet or estuary.
