Generally, no. Remember that tertiary level consumers must eat organisms which themselves would hunt (secondary level consumers). The diet of lions primarily consists of grazing animals such as gazelle, deer, zebras, etc. These are primary consumers (i.e. they eat plants), thus unless a lion eats a hunting animal (in rare instances, lions may hunt each other if food is scarce though this is the exception, not the rule) it is a secondary consumer.

Then they would be primary consumers. It would be a big problem for them if they had to do so since the pride is usually large with many to feed.
