Yes. It is considered a berry, but scientists and botanists continue to debate about this. My answer is that it has seeds and grows on a vine, like a strawberry or a pumpkin, so it is a fruit.

In appearance, the fruit of the tomato plant most closely resembles the fruit of the potato (the berry that forms above ground, not the tuber) and of the belladonna (deadly nightshade) plant and it is, in fact related to both. It is also related to tobacco, pepper, eggplant and petunia, all from the family Solanaceae.

i disagree shape size color texture etc i am unaware of who wrote this but this much is clear they are so wrong go buy an eggplant and a tomato eat each one and you will see for your self they are not similar in any way eggplant has more in common with squash i guess certain eggplant grow simular to tomato but that is as far as it goes.
