Not officially. Coprophagia is the ingestion of fecal matter. Coprophagic or coprophagous might work as adjectives to describe a person who does so. Coprophilia is a sexual paraphilia (fetish) where someone is aroused by fecal matter. So they would be a coprophile, or a coprophilic person.

If a child does this, they could be suffering malnutrition or a condition called pica. Pica is a compulsion to eat non-nutrative things. Children will sometimes eat mud, paint chips, and perhaps even fecal matter.
