No, the speed of light is the same everywhere.

Explanation:

Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity states that the speed of light is the same everywhere. Nothing can change the speed of light.

Near to a black hole gravity is very strong. It will cayuse light rays to bend around it.

At the black hole's event horizon nothing, including light, cab escape the black hole's gravity.
