No - a scar is connective tissue that replaces bodily tissue that has been destroyed by injury or disease; a birthmark is a mark on the skin present at, or emerging shortly after, birth, caused either by unusual concentrations of pigmentation cells or minor anomalies in blood vessels.

Some might view a scar caused by birth trauma (eg use of obstetric forceps) as a "birthmark", but biologically speaking, "nevi" (birthmarks) and scars are totally different.
