No. As back up, it is not included in the AP Style Guide, which means no hyphen is required. If you're using it as a verb (as in, "she will hand deliver the message), there is no need for a hyphen. But if it is used as a compound modifier (which means as an adjective), you WOULD hyphenate it: "she is taking the hand-delivered envelope." David Price, Writer
