No much too small for any adult tortoise.
That size would be fine for a hatchling, But there is no species of tortoise that would be happy in such a small cage, as a fully grown adult.

In the wild tortoises roam about a good deal, in captivity they should also be given the opportunity to do so.
They need quite a bit of space and and don't do well confined to small cages/enclosures.

Hope this helps.
