No. It is commonly referred to as "The King of Instruments" and in a class totally by itself.
Even though the pipe organ uses pressurized air to produce sound, it is not a member of the woodwind family. Some stops (sounds) are named after orchestral instruments, but the pipe organ was never intended to imitate the orchestra or a band, but some do come awfully close to sounding like the real thing.

What are the similarities and differences between wind and brass instruments?
One difference is that woodwind instruments use a wooden reed to form the mouthpiece. The reed sits at the back of the mouthpiece (on the bottom lip) and vibrates against the rest of the mouthpiece to help create the sound. Brass and woodwind instruments are both played by blowing into them (or over them in the case of the flute). Brass instruments do not have any moving parts that vibrate to create a sound. They merely amplify the sound created by the players lips vibrating. Woodwind instruments have a reed that vibrates except for the flute which splits a column of air to make vibrations. Brass instruments change their pitch by changing the length of tubing which the air passes through. Woodwind instruments change their pitch by changing the where the air escapes from the instrument.
