No, however, in individuals diagnosed with OCD, when faced with an obsession, you can say that the compulsion that one performs as a response to the obsession is a coping mechanism used to reduce the anxiety and distress initially caused by the presence of the obsession.

Is obsessive compulsive disorder a phobia?

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a behaviour. Examples include repeatedly flicking a light switch a certain number of times or avoiding stepping on the cracks between paving stones in the street. These behaviours develop within a person usually as a coping mechanism or a way of making their world safe from a real or imagined threat/danger. So OCD can be a symptom of a phobia, but is not, in itself, a phobia.
