Not really. In "American" English a trapezium is a quadrilateral with no sides parallel.

In "American" English a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel lines. In "British" English a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with no sides parallel. -- Note -- A British "trapezium" could arguably include a square.
