No, these are two different groupings, except for the few Jewish Greeks and the ethnic Greeks in other countries who are Jewish.

Being Jewish relates primarily to a religion. Being Greek relates primarily to an ethnic background or national identity.

There are about 5,000 Jews in Greece out of a Greek population of 11 million and a world Jewish population of 14 million.

Historically, the Jews of Greece had unique traditions and were not considered to be Ashkenazi or Sephardi, but Romaniote. With the Spanish Inquisition, many Sephardi Jews came to Greece, overwhelming the Romaniote population, but a vibrant community of Romaniote Jews remained until the Holocaust nearly extinguished it.
