No. It is technically an "organelle" within certain cells of a green plant, usually the leaf cells. The chloroplasts are called that because they contain the chlorophyll that the cells use in photosynthesis.

The chloroplasts contain stacks of green translucent disc-shaped structures called thylakoids that hold the chlorophyll.
