Yes. If taken perfectly, at the same time each day, with no missed doses, there is about a 0.5% failure rate; meaning that 5 in a thousand women will become pregnant each year, even if they take their pills perfectly.
Even vasectomies and tubal ligations have failure rates, though lower.
The only perfect contraceptive is not having sex.
