There is air, composed of Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen. The surface pressures aren't enough to allow you to breath it though. That's because of the low surface gravity, pressure, and in part due to it's tenuous at best magnetic field.

Mars has a very thin atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon. The low atmospheric pressure on Mars means that the air is too thin to support human life and is toxic to breathe. Additionally, Mars lacks a strong magnetic field to protect its atmosphere from solar wind erosion, causing it to lose much of its air over time.
