Simple answer: No.
In some states (see link below) the car registration fee includes a personal property (or vehicle valuation) tax . Only that portion of the registration fee is deductible. Even then, it is only deductible as an itemized deduction. That is, you get no deduction if you use the standard deduction. In addition it is subject to the $10K state and local tax (SALT) deduction limit. You can claim the deduction on leased cars, as well as ones you own.

@Hal_Al is right, but just to be sure you understand, I'll add that the only deductible property taxes are taxes based on the value of the property. ("ad valorem" taxes). Registration fees are not based on the current value of the car. They are fixed for every vehicle within a certain class of vehicles. So registration fees are not deductible from for personal vehicles. (Business vehicles are a different matter.)
