It depends on the Incarnation.

In "A Christmas Carol" (2010 Christmas Special), the Eleventh Doctor says this:

The Doctor: Father Christmas. Santa Claus. Or, as I’ve always known him, Jeff.

This implies that he knows him on a "personal" level, but seems more like a throw away line.

As Roger says in the comments, the Ninth Doctor claims he MIGHT be Santa Claus himself:

Rose: Look at you, beaming away like you're Father Christmas.

 

The Doctor: Who says I'm not? Red bicycle when you were twelve?

And finally, the Twelfth Doctor realizes he is in a dream only because Santa Claus is in the base with them. At the end, when they're flying over London, they have this exchange:

Santa Claus: You want to take the reins, Doctor?

 

The Doctor: You're a dream construct, currently representing either my recovering or expiring mind.

 

Santa Claus: Yes, but do you want a go?

 

The Doctor: Yeah. All right.

So we might say some incarnations of the Doctor believe in him, while others don't.
