Not for the stars you can see without a telescope. All of the stars you see at night are within a few hundred light years of Earth, so it does not take the light more than a few hundred years to reach us. There are stars in other galaxies that are millions or even billions of light years away. That light does take millions to billions of years to reach us, though the stars are too far away for us to thee them individually.
