No, agnatha, which includes jawless fish like lampreys and hagfish, do not have an operculum. Instead of a bony cover over their gills, they typically have a series of openings that lead directly to the gill structures. This distinguishes them from jawed fish, which possess an operculum for protection and movement of water over the gills.
