It is allowed by some 401k, but not in any IRAs.
However, there is one provision in the IRA law that some people say lets you take out a very short term loan: You are allowed to take money out of your IRA and then return it within 60 days to the same or another IRA. So if you need a loan for less than 60 days, this is a way to do it.
This provision was put into the law to allow you to switch money between different IRA accounts, but it's OK if you just put the money back into the same IRA.
If you do this, remember that you have to wait a full year before you can do it again. And remember there are absolutely no extensions on the deadline. If you miss it by just one day, you are out of luck. And if your bank or brokerage is closed for a holiday, too bad.

How TO borrow money from AN annuity?
To understand the consequences of borrowing from a deferred annuity (one in which annuity payments are not scheduled to commence within one year of issue), one needs to know if the annuity is being used to fund an IRA or "qualified plan". If the annuity is funding an IRA, no borrowing is permissible, because IRA rules do not permit borrowing from one's IRA. If the annuity is funding an employer-sponsored retirement plan (such as a 401(k) plan), borrowing may or may not be permitted by the plan (and the annuity contract). If the deferred annuity is being purchased with after-tax dollars, not in an IRA or employer-sponsored plan, then borrowing is not forbidden by law, but most deferred annuity contracts do not allow it. It should be noted that borrowing against such an annuity, or even pledging the annuity value as collateral for a loan (such as, from a bank) will cause the untaxed "gain" in the annuity to be taxable in the year of the pledging (up to the value of the amount borrowed) (IRC 72(e)(4)).
