No. Corn starch is a white powdery substance that feels like talc and is usually sold in a box, it is used for thickening sauces and the like. Corn flour - or corn meal - is ground corn and has larger particles that feel kind of gritty and is used for corn bread, or spoon bread and things of that type.
