No, hagfish do not have a backbone. They are considered jawless fish and belong to a group of animals known as agnatha, which lack a vertebral column. Instead of a spine, hagfish have a flexible notochord, which provides support and structure. This unique feature distinguishes them from vertebrates, which possess a backbone.
