No, sulfur is an element and sulfur dioxide is a gaseous compound.

Sulfur dioxide is the combustion product of sulfur in an oxygen atmosphere (S+O2 --> SO2)

Where sulfur is an element, sulfur dioxide is a compound and where sulfur is an insoluble yellow solid, sulfur dioxide is a colorless soluble gas.
