Yes.
Colossians 2:8 - Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
However, care should be taken to avoid confusion on the topic of "tradition" in the New Testament. "Traditions of men" that come into conflict with the commandments of God are strongly condemned by both Jesus and His apostles.
Matthew 15:3 - He [Jesus] answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?"
Mark 7:8, 9 - "For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men - the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do." He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition."
1 Peter 1:18, 19 - knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
On the other hand, the traditions being taught to Christians by the apostles ("apostolic tradition") were to be carefully followed and taught, and faithfully preserved. Additionally, a "brother" (believer) who rejected the traditions taught by the apostles was to be shunned.
2 Thessalonians 2:15 - Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.
2 Timothy 2:2 - And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
2 Thessalonians 3:6 - But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us.
