Is burning magnesium an oxidation-reduction reaction?

You cannot 'burn' MgO, it is refactory. I take it you mean burning Magnesium metal in oxygen - if so the answer is that the magnesium is oxidised to MgO and the oxygen is reduced - all reduction/oxidation ('redox') reactions are coupled - if something is oxidised the other is reduced.
