No, there is not enough gravity to hold down any significant atmosphere, and therefore no air. Also, because of the lack of atmosphere there is very little pressure, and a practical vacuum. You would die very quickly if you were on the surface of the moon without proper apparatus.

Astronauts wear a backpack-type object that they breathe into with a bag full of clean oxygen. the carbon dioxide released when they breathe is cleaned out by "scrubbers" in the backpack :]

As there is no atmosphere then you could not. That is one of the reasons the astronauts that landed had to wear spacesuits.
