No, a cylinder is not a polygon. It is not a polygon because it has curved sides. In order to be considered a polygon, it would need to have flat sides.
Also, a polygon is a 2 dimensional shape but a cylinder is a three dimensional shape.

Is a cylinder shape a regular or not regular polygon?
Cylinder is not a polygon as it is a 3 dimensional object.
Is a cylinder a polyhedron and if not Why not?
The simple answer is no, because it has a curved surface. A polyhedron is made up of polygons. The curved portion of a cylinder is not a polygon. The circular faces are not polygons either, as they do not have at least 3 sides. This information provided by my 11 yr old Son. He's pretty smart.

What are attributes of a cylinder?
A cylinder is a basic geometric three dimensional figure. The base is a circle. A cylinder can be described as an enclosed tube. It cannot be classified as a polygon since all of the sides are not segments.
Is a cylinder a prism?
No, a prism has flat sides. Triangular prisms are very common, but any polygon can be the cross section of a prism.

No, a prism has flat sides. Triangular prisms are very common, but any polygon can be the cross section of a prism.
Is a cylinder considered to be a 3 dimensional figure with 2 parallel bases and not a polygon?
yes - one criterion of a polygon is being made up of only straight lines. polygons are also 2-dimensional. a cylinder is neither of these two things, as it is 3-dimensional (has length, width, and depth) and its two bases are circles, which are curved.
What are the parts of a gas cylinder?
A cylinder is a basic geometric three dimensional figure. The base is a circle. A cylinder can be described as an enclosed tube. It cannot be classified as a polygon since all of the sides are not segments.
