Neither, John the baptist was a prophet. He was the cousin of Jesus. He started preaching and baptizing shortly before the start of the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth and thus was neither a disciple nor an apostle. He is indicated in The Bible as the forerunner of Jesus.
See Matthew 3:1ff, Mark 1:1ff, Luke 1:ff, Luke 3:1ff, John 1:19ff for biblical references to John the baptist.
