No - only a minimum age.
According to Article II, Clause 5 of the US Constitution:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of
the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall
any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty
five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Practical considerations limit the maximum age since the human body wears out to such a degree and campaigning is so grueling that it is unlikely that anyone would be running for president when they were in their 90's.
The two major candidates in the 2016 Presidential election were 70 (Trump) and 69 (Clinton).
When he takes office, Trump will be the oldest person to be elected to a FIRST term as President of the USA (at 70 years, 220 days)
Ronald Reagan was 69 years, 349 days when he first took office. He was 73 when he ran for (and won) his second term as President and served until he was 77 years, 349 days old.
Had she been elected, Hilary Clinton would have been the second oldest President-elect, behind Reagan.

There is no upper age limit.
What are the names for the federal upper house and lower house?
Lower house (house of reps) is elected differently to upper house. Each seat in lower house represents one electorate. This means only the member with most votes wins the seat, meaning that the lower house tends to be very difficult for a minor party to get into. Lower house makes all the policy & rules that govern the country, gets elected every 3 years.Upper house (senate) is proportional voting - if minor party gets 10% of votes nationally, they get 10% of seats in senate, so it's possible for minor parties to get in. The job of upper house is to review legislation and review the honesty of the government. They have half-senate elections every 4 years.
