No. The wrist is DISTAL to the elbow. The radius and the ulna ( your forearm ) are what separates the elbow joint from the carpals, and the metacarpals, which is your wrist.

Is the elbow proximal to the wrist?
No, it the wrist would be distal to the elbow. The best way to remember this is by using the words approximate (close) and distant (far). If something is proximal, it is closer to the trunk. If it is distal, it is further away from the trunk. That's wrong, i just got that one wrong on the test i was taking. it is proximal to the elbow!!
