no, the analog input is a special pin not available on the pinheader of the esp-01.
If you are very good at soldering and have a steady hand you might be able to solder a wire at ADC/TOUT (pin 6 of chip).

Yes, Schufti is right ! ADC pins is not exposed on ESP-01, and soldering a tiny wire to the chip is quite a challenge.

so if i successfully solder a wire to the adc pin, i may then use an "analog read" function in the arduino ide?

Yes ! as long as the input voltage is between 0V-1V.
