Yes. There is Friar Lawrence and Friar John in Romeo and Juliet, and Friar Peter, Friar Thomas and Friar Francis in Measure for Measure, in which the Duke disguises himself as a monk. There is a Friar Patrick mentioned in the Two Gentlemen of Verona, who fulfils the same function as Friar Lawrence in Romeo and Juliet, although we do not see him.
You may object that technically a friar is not the same thing as a monk, but it is not clear whether Shakespeare was clear on the difference. In any case, King John is clearly stated to have been poisoned "by a monk" and not by a friar. The word "monk" occurs most frequently in his very late play Henry VIII.
