Generally, no. At normal shooting distances, a macro lens does not inherently give shallower depth of field than another lens of the same focal length and aperture focused at the same distance. Depth of field is driven mainly by aperture, magnification, subject distance, sensor size, and the acceptable circle of confusion—not by the lens being labeled “macro.”

What makes a macro lens “macro” is its ability to focus much closer, usually by allowing different or greater internal element movement. That closer focusing increases magnification, and higher magnification reduces depth of field. But at the same distance and settings, DOF should be essentially similar to other lenses.

Why might it look different? Lens design can change the rendering of focus. Many macro lenses are designed with a very flat field of focus, while some other lenses have more field curvature. A flatter focus plane can make the in-focus region look more like a thin “slice,” especially across the frame, which may be perceived as different DOF even when the actual DOF is not meaningfully different.
