No. By definition a molecule is an electrically neutral group of two or more atoms that is held by covalent bond.

While noble gases like helium and Argon may be called monatomic molecules, this is only used to simplify things and there is no difference between the names monatomic molecule and atom. There are, however, diatomic molecules that is made from one element, such as oxygen (O2), hydrogen (H2), and chlorine (Cl2).
