Yes, especially if it's unbalanced. For instance, excess nitrogen causes plants to produce lots of leaf at the expense of flowers and roots, and can produce leaf burn. The greatest problem caused by applying more fertilizer than plants can take up, is that rain leaches it out into waterways where it causes rampant plant growth, especially of algae, which block light from the water plants which then die and rot, depleting all the oxygen, so the fish die too. This is called eutrophication.
