No. One attempt was made, and it was likely made by a sniper who missed President Lincoln, with a shot but the bullet did manage to plow right through his top hat he happened to be wearing, at the time.

The shot was not publicized, and President Lincoln told very few people about it. Whoever fired the shot remains a mystery to this day.
