Yes. John Adams was the first Vice-President when the new federal government was organized under the US Constitution. He served from 1789-1797, during George Washington's two terms of office, but Washington rarely consulted Adams, so he had little influence over government during that period. Nevertheless, when Washington decided not to run for a third term, the electoral college chose John Adams as his successor.

John Adams (the second US President) should not be confused with his son, John Quincy Adams, who was the sixth US President. John Quincy Adams never held the office of Vice-President.
