Yes, it was.
John Quincy Adams eventually won the 1824 election, but Jackson won the popular vote. The election was actually decided in 1825 by the House of Representatives because nobody got a majority of the electoral votes.

John Quincy Adams won over Andrew Jackson in the 1824 election. This election was unusual in that it was ultimately decided by the U.S. House of Representatives after no candidate received a majority of the electoral vote.

1824. John Quincy Adams
In the election of 1824, Andrew Jackson received more popular votes than any other candidate. However, he did not secure a majority in the Electoral College. As a result, the election was decided by the House of Representatives, which ultimately elected John Quincy Adams as the president.
Andrew Jackson was the leader in electoral votes and in popular votes in 1824 but he did not get the required majority of electoral votes and so the House decided the election as the constitution requires.
In 1824, Jackson won more electoral votes than any other candidates but did get the required majority, so the House decided the election and they decided against Jackson and elected John Q. Adams. People did not run for President in those days the way that they do now. The fact that Jackson was not made President did not damage his future chances the way that losing a campaign does today. Jackson won the 1828 election fairly easily.
The 1824 presidential election did mark the final collapse of Republican-Federalist political framework.
