Yes. A rational number is defined as any integer divided by any (nonzero) integer, so 22/7 is rational.

You're probably asking because some people say that Pi is equal to 22/7 (I also remember being told this once as a kid). This is false. The constant Pi is an irrational number, which means that it cannot be expressed exactly as one integer divided by another integer, or as a finite decimal expansion. 22/7 is a close approximation of Pi, to about three digits, but it does not equal Pi.
