Not exactly, though SCOTUS has found a "penumbra" of a right to privacy to exist in the Ninth Amendment, which simply says:
The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
The "penumbra" concept, which has lots of critics, has been applied mainly in matters related to the bedroom or the consequences of what happens in the bedroom.
