No. A tragedy requires that the protagonist bring his fate on himself. Hamlet and Macbeth are tragedies because the hero's actions bring about the consequences of their fates. Job does nothing (or very little) to bring about what happens to him, even thought its a great deal that happens to him. The book of job is really just a bunch of philosophising over the question 'Why do bad things happen to good people?' and doesn't come up with much of a satisfying answer. Furthermore somebody tacted a happy ending onto the book of Job that would further remove it from being a tragedy.
