No, a circle is not a regular polygon because it is not even a polygon.
A polygon must have at least 3 sides and 3 angles (a circle has 1 side and has 0 angles), it has to be a closed shape, and it cannot have curved lines (circles are curved). Therefore, a circle is not a polygon. You *might* think that a circle is just made up of a gazillion squares, but no. It's simply just a curved shape.

Inscribed Polygon
A circle is non-polygon. Meaning it has a curved side. A circle has no sides. It is non-regular.
It is a regular polygon as for example an equilateral triangle
A polygon which has a circumscribed circle is called a cyclic polygon.All regular simple polygons, all triangles and all rectangles are cyclic.
There is no name given to it. (As the number of sides increases, the upper limit of a regular polygon is a circle.)
