No, It is cause by Clostridium tetani which is a Gram-positive, motile bacterium found in soil and animal feces. Toxigenic strains of C. tetani contain a plasmid encoding the potent exotoxin which causes tetanus (lockjaw).

Bacteria and virus
Influenza is a virus. It is a respiratory virus that infects the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. It is not caused by bacteria or fungi.
Tetanus is caused by bacteria, not a virus. The bacteria that cause tetanus, Clostridium tetani, are rod-shaped and produce spores that can survive in the environment. These spores can enter the body through wounds and produce a toxin that affects the nervous system. Symptoms of tetanus include muscle stiffness and spasms.
Virus
Tetanus is caused by a bacterial toxin produced by Clostridium tetani bacteria, not a virus. The bacteria spores can enter the body through cuts or puncture wounds, where they produce toxins that affect the nervous system. It is not a latent virus because it does not become dormant within the body.
virus
A virus is typically the smallest of these three biological entities, as it is much smaller than bacteria and fungi. Viruses are even smaller than the smallest bacteria and fungi, and can only replicate inside the cells of a living host organism.
Fungi
Measles is caused by a virus.
No. A bacteriophage is a virus that attacks bacteria.
