No. The move after, where en passant could be performed, would be the start of the count though. Since the rule is 50 moves without a capture or pawn move.
50 move count and en passant
Sort:
But it´s the move after a pawn move that forfeits en passant right/s...
Have there been any recorded games whose outcome hinged on the rule that 50 move count starts from the pawn move, not the loss of en passant right/s half a move later?

The rules state that a pawn move resets the 50 move count. As does a capture. So any game where someone is tracking moves to try and claim that draw have to start counting again once a pawn is moved.
In other words, the moves and captures count on that rule, not other board states or possible captures. 3-fold and 5-fold repetition, things like en passant and castling rights matter.
Does loss of en passant right restart count of 50 moves for a draw claim?
