No it doesn't require ATP

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion doesn't require ATP because it is the passive movement of molecules such as glucose and amino acid across the cell membrane. It does so with the aid of a membrane protein since the glucose is a very big molecule. Examples of membrane proteins include channel proteins and carrier proteins.
