Yes, Saddam Hussein would be classified as an autocrat. He ruled Iraq with an iron fist from 1979 until his ousting in 2003, maintaining power through repressive tactics, including censorship, political purges, and the use of violence against dissent. His regime was characterized by a lack of democratic processes and widespread human rights abuses, which are hallmarks of autocratic governance.
