No, crane flies (from the Tipulidae family) do not bite. While crane flies resemble large mosquitoes, the adults have non-piercing mouthparts (unlike mosquitoes) and only feed on nectar or not at all.
However, there are insects that very much resemble mosquitoes and crane flies that can bite or sting. The Ichneumon Wasp is one such insect and is said to be capable of inflicting a painful sting if it feels threatened.

Do daddy long legs spider bite?
Daddy long legs do bite. They are not harmful to humans, and contrary to popular belief are NOT the most venomous spiders around. People believe that they can't bite people because of their uncate fangs, but the brown recluse (which IS harmful to humans) also has uncate fangs. Also, the term daddy longs legs refers to three different types of bugs - one is the cellar spider, one is the harvestmen, which is an arachnid, but NOT a spider, and the other is the Crane fly. The bite from a cellar spider produces a short lived burning sensation. The myth about them being "the most venomous spider, but they can't bite humans" was debunked by MythBusters and Bill Nye the Science Guy
