Is this a question about Jews hailed as saints by Christians (the apostles, for example) or is it a question about whether Jews consider some people as saints? If the latter, then the answer is perhaps. Jews do not do anything analogous to praying to saints. Jews pray only to God, but Jews do recognize some people as tzaddikim, righteous ones. Jews pray, for example, that God will remember us the way He remembered the patriarchs Abriham, Issac and Jacob. Certain great rabbis of the past are remembered as tzaddikim, their stories are repeated, and in some cases, this includes stories of martyrdom. A Catholic used to the way Catholics talk about saints would find the way Jews talk about these great men to be very familiar.
