Yes. Judas Iscariot is the son of perdition.
Jesus says these words in His prayer as quoted in John 17.
In the online Free Dictionary "perdition" is: final and unalterable spiritual ruin; damnation.
Perdition can also be translated as "hell."
Clearly this word carries with it all the terrible Horror involved in the loss of one's soul forever.
In His prayer to the Father in John 17, Jesus is saying that He had kept (safe) all of those the Father had given Him (disciples) except "the son of perdition," (Judas).
No one has to follow Judas to perdition. For the one who believes in Christ much better words apply: "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit." (Romans 8:1)
Another perspective:
The phrase "son of perdition" appears twice in the New Testament. The first time (John 17:12), Jesus is indeed referring to Judas Iscariot. The second time (2 Thessalonians 2:3) can't be a reference to Judas, who was by then dead and buried. Judas, then, was a "son of perdition," not the "son of perdition."
