Yes. Ganymede and Titan, which are moons of Jupiter and Saturn, are larger than the planet Mercury. Several other moons in the solar system, including our own moon, are larger than Pluto, which was formerly considered a planet. These moons would likely be considered planets if they had their own orbits around the sun.
