No, possessive pronouns do not need an apostrophe. Apostrophes are used to make nouns possessive, not pronouns.
There are two types of pronouns that show possession:
Possessive pronouns
take the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.
They are: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.
Examples:
The bluecarishers.
Thehouseon the corner istheirs.
Thechildin the elf costume isours.
Possessive
adjectives
describe a noun as belonging to someone or something. A possessive adjective is placed just before the noun it describes.
They are: my, your, his, her, their, its.
Examples:
Her car is blue.
Their house is on the corner.
Ourchildis the one in the elf costume.
Possessive nouns are formed by adding an apostrophe -s ('s) to the end of the Word, or just an apostrophe to the end of plural nouns that already end with -s (s').
Examples of possessive nouns:
Andy's bicycle
the bank's parking lot
the cat's tail
my daughters' room
the egg's shell
the fence's paint
Germany's flag
