Nope, Eukaryotes are organisms with a more modern type of cell than Prokaryotes. In Eukaryotes there is a nucleus where all the DNA is stored, but a Prokaryote lacks suck an organel and the DNA moves more freely through the cell. There's a couple more organels that eukaryotes have that prokaryotes lack.

All multi-cellular organisms are eukaryotes, but a lot of single celled organisms are also eukaryotes. All bacteria are prokaryotes though.
