Nope, it's a mollusc, just like slugs and snails. It's in another phylum. Arthropods are insects, arachnids, crustaceans etc, with a hard exoskeleton covering their entire body and no squishy bits at all.

No, cuttlefish are in phylum Mollusca along with octopi and squid. Arthropoda belong to a different phylum, characterized by joint appendages, segmented body, and a hard exoskeleton.
