Nope.
I've not even heard a sensible definition of what "supernatural" is meant to be.
It requires an equivocation between our theories about the laws of nature and the actual laws themselves; and also assumes science is 100% accurate while saying it "can't account for some things".
However you define this supernatural thing, the burden of proof is on you to demonstrate it is possible such a thing exists. I covered all this in a video recently:
It's also in no way useful to slap this kind of language on the unexplained, except to try and make magical explanations sound less ridiculous.
Any supernatural causation is indistinguishable from another; which is indistinguishable from no supernatural causation at all. If we had a way to detect the difference, then it would be within the realm of science.
