Are internal links backlinks?

I got a little confused here so I’d like to know if internal links can also be considered backlinks?

Not in the way that most people think of backlinks.

Generally people mean a link from another site back to your site.

I suppose they could loosely be considered one, but I don’t think of them that way.
