Let $f$ be the identity map from $\mathbb R$ with usual metric to $\mathbb R$ with discrete metric. Then $f$ is not continuous but it is a closed map. Another example where both spaces are compact: define $f:[0,1] \to \{0,1\}$ by $f(x)=0$ if $x <\frac 1 2$ and $f(x)=1$ otherwise. Note that image of any set is closed!.
