No, but among the latest of many extrasolar planets found around various stars is Kepler 22b, about 600 light-years from Earth. It was located in 2009 and announced on December 5, 2011. The planet has the most "Earth-like" conditions among the many current candidates. But the planet is thought to be at least 2.4 times as massive as Earth, orbiting slightly closer to its star, and with a different atmosphere. But the surface temperature is thought to be within the same range as Earth.
NASA continues to use the Kepler Space Telescope (2009) and the Spitzer Infrared Telescope (2003) to examine extrasolar planets that may fall into what is called the "Goldilocks zone" around a star, where the temperature range is comparable to Earth.
