No, but they go hand in hand. In Biology, the catalyst and enzyme join together in the way a key and lock do. The enzyme is either connected to another enzyme when they join, or it is broken into two. The enzyme is portrayed as the key, and the catalyst would be the lock. Each catalyst has a specific enzyme that fits into it, and vice versa.
