It depends ... If the cylinder is solid, no. If it is hollow, yes.

Explanation:

The centre of mass is the point at which all the particles’ mass appears to act, clearly if the cylinder is of uniform density then whether it is hollow or not does not shift this point, but it would lie outside the body if the cylinder were hollow.
