No. Take
It contains more than one point and has the fixed-point property of a closed interval, but it is not homeomorphic to the closed unit disc. Indeed, deleting any point with disconnects , so such a point is a cut point. Deleting one point from a two-dimensional closed disc leaves a path-connected space. Since being a cut point is preserved by homeomorphisms, the two spaces cannot be homeomorphic. This gives the required counterexample.
