No. A volcano is a vent or fissure in the ground through which molten rock, ash, and gas can erupt from within the Earth. A caldera is a large depression in the ground that forms during the most violent volcanic eruptions when a volcano collapses in on itself.
Yellowstone Caldera in Yellowstone National Park is a famous example of a caldera volcano. It has erupted catastrophically in the past, creating a large caldera that measures about 45 by 30 miles.
