No, that would be the wavelength. It would also be equal to the distance from peak to peak. The amplitude is the distance from the midpoint to the peak or from the midpoint to the trough

This is actually incorrect, the distance as stated above either from trough to trough or from crest to crest within a corresponding wave, would be referred or called as the wavelength of the given wave.
