According to Debian's FAQ they're not LiveCDs, although many LiveCDs are based on Debian.

Is a Debian "live CD" available?

A so-called "live CD" is a CD which contains a complete system pre-installed on the CD. You do not need to install anything on the harddisc, instead you boot from CD and are able to start working on the machine right away. All programs run directly from CD.

There are no official Debian live CDs available. However, we would like to recommend Knoppix, which is based on Debian - a very useful, full-featured live CD!
