No, because part of the definition of "planet" is that it orbits a sun or star. However, an object the size of a planet can orbit just about anything: a neutron, a black hole, a star cluster, a larger planet, a galaxy, a galaxy cluster... several objects of planetary mass have been found that move freely through space, i.e., that don't orbit a star. Such objects would simply not be called a "planet" because they doesn't orbit a star. In most such cases, they would also be too cold to sustain life as we know it.
