Yes — for a pure substance, melting point is an intensive property.
Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of material; a given pure substance melts at the same temperature (at a fixed pressure) whether you have a gram or a kilogram. Melting point does, however, depend on external conditions and composition: it changes with pressure and is lowered/broadened by impurities or solutes (freezing-point depression).
