Yes, an apostrophe is used to form a possessive noun. An apostrophe s ('s) or just an apostrophe (') placed at the end of a noun indicates that something in the sentence belongs to that noun.

Examples:

The hat's band was black silk. (singular possessive)

The Harrises' children are twins. (plural possessive)
