No, it's a markup language.

Nothing is compiled like in a programming language everything is interpreted by your browser.

Compilation isn't a criterion for programming languages. JavaScript is also interpreted by your browser, but it's definitely a programming language.

HTML is a computer language used to structure web content. It's not actually a programming language, which would be a term for languages used to control computer functionality.
