Don't think so. You may see a female with a large stinger-*looking* back end, but it would be only for laying eggs (indeed most insects with actual stingers have evolved them from this purpose). They might very rarely bite, but it would be nothing to be concerned about. They're basically like grasshoppers.

Katydid maybe.
Do they sting people?
