Nope.
Both ticks and mites belong to the arachnid Order Acarina (or Acari). The ticks are a small group of a few hundred species, out of over 30,000 species in the Order.
They have the tarsus of the pedipalp (a short pair of appendages anterior to the legs and behind the jaws) without a claw, and a piercing organ below the jaws, armed with backward-pointing
teeth. All ticks belong to the Suborder Ixodida, the rest of the Order, the mites, belong to half a dozen other Suborders.
Ticks are all ectoparasitic, like mosquitoes taking a blood meal from some host, normally a vertebrate animal of some kind. Most ticks
are larger than most mites, though there is some size overlap. Some mites, chiggers for example, also parasitise other animals, including vertebrates and invertebrates.
This clearly shows the difference between mites and ticks.

Come on, man. That's cruel.
