No, not always. For instance, it used to be against the law for people to harbor fugitive slaves seeking freedom.

Fortunately, many people broke this law.

Opinion

This really depends on two factors: How infallible you perceive the law to be, and whether or not you believe that moral law is different than written law.

As pointed out above, if you believe that moral law is different (or is at least different in some cases) and that moral law superceedes the written law, then no: Illegal things are not always incorrect.

However, if you believe in the infallibility of law, or that the written law superceedes moral law, than yes: every illegal action is always incorrect.
