If you mean compound, as a grouping of elements or molecules respectively, yes. A substance is a liquid when the intramolecular attraction is strong enough to hold the molecule or element together (preventing the gaseous phase) but not strong enough to hold the chemical in a rigid structured state (a solid). This is based on the energy in a system and can be changed based on temperature and or pressure. ie. Why water boils at lower temperatures if you are in the mountains.

If you mean compound, as a molecule of different elements, not always. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature and Bromine can be in the liquid phase at room temperature. Bromine in this case is a molecule with its self. I'm sure there are a few more exceptions, but I am unable to think of any at the moment.
