Yes and no. If you take some soil, place it in a Petri dish, and flood it with water, you will see in about 20 minutes a vast number of protists. Some would argue this would indicate that there are terrestrial protists. (Others would counter that these protists live in the thin film of water that exists around soil particles; therefore, they are still aquatic.
It also depends on what organisms you call protists. If you consider slime molds and oomycetes protists, then there are many terrestrial protists. Slime molds creep along in the leaf litter, and there are several plant pathogens among the oomycetes that attack the above ground portions of plants.
