No. They are very different.

An 'Ark' is a chest, so the two are similar in that they are both chest-shaped (boxlike), but that's where the similarity ends.

The Ark of the Covenant was a small (44" × 26" × 26") , beautifully decorated, God-designed chest, kept in the tabernacle during the time that the Israelites were God's chosen people. It was made of acacia wood, and covered inside and out with pure gold, and was the most important object of the camp of Israel, representing God's presence.(Exodus 25:22; Leviticus 16:2) It was used in the tabernacle (and later the temple) for the safekeeping of three very special and holy articles: The tablets containing the commandments to Israel, a jar of manna from Israels' wilderness trek, Aaron's almond branch that budded during a rebellion against Moses. (Hebrews 9:4; Exodus 16:32-34; Numbers 17:10)

Noah's Ark was the HUGE chestlike structure (437'×72 '×43 ') that Noah and his sons built at the direction of God, to save their families and a representative assortment of animals, from the coming flood and the destruction of the ungodly world of his time. Noah's Ark is often pictured as a boat, but The Bible describes a rectangular structure, built for space and stability, not steering.(Genesis 6:14-16)
