No. Most (not all) marsupials have a pouch, but not the platypus. It is one of the egg laying mammals, or monotremes. The mother platypus curls up around the eggs to incubate them, and after they are hatched, she tends them in a chamber at the end of her burrow.
Having said that, however, the platypus's fellow monotreme, the echidna, does develop a flap of skin during breeding season which functions as a pouch.
