No. Reincarnation is the belief that a person has lived a previous life, in another body, and another time. Some people and cultures believe a person can live many lives, being reincarnated through birth in a new body after they have died. Afterlife refers to the soul or spirit of the person after their death. It can be in a spirit form (some call them "ghosts"), or it can mean the person's soul when it goes to Heaven or Hell.
