No. It is actually a work of embroidery. A true tapestry would have the image woven into the fabric of the cloth; here, it has been sewn onto the top of a previously woven fabric.
No, it is an embroidery because of the way it is made
A tapestry is woven on a loom in the same way that cloth is for making clothing.

The Bayeux "Tapestry" is actually an embroidery stitched with needle and thread on a length of linen cloth

How was the Bayeux tapestry made? The Bayeux tapestry was made by nuns who embroidered scenes from the Norman invasion and the Battle of Hastings on eight linen panels which were then sewn together. Colored wool was used for the embroidery. Yarn made of the colored wool was used for the threads that the pictures were embroidered in. The whole of the Bayeux tapestry was worked in only 2 embroidery stitches called:

  • Laid / Couched Work

  • Stem Stitch
