Not since 1804.. After the 12th amendment was ratified in 1804, candidates for president and vice-president run as a team and the same electors elect both of them in separate ballots.
It could in theory happen again if the electoral college votes ends in a 269-269 tie, so that the House decides the President and the Senate elects the vice-president.
