not in a biological sense no. peanuts and almonds are legumes.

Basically there is a difference between the biological and the culinary definition for some foods. For instance a common example is that bananas are berries, and neither strawberries nor raspberries are berries biologically, However the culinary definition would treat them as the oppisite. same idea with Tomatoes (biologically a fruit, culinarily a vegetable)

Almonds are nuts, they're the seeds of the almond tree.
