Not really, no.
Impedance is the sum of resistance and reactance.
Reactance is the capacitive or inductive component.
So for static DC signals resistance is impedance, but for AC it isn't.
if you are ever unsure of things like that, or wonder what something is,
try entering "define: impedance" in google and watch the magic.
