Yes, but there is only one of them. A Prime number is any number that only has only one and itself as factors. By definition even numbers have a factor of two. Therefore the only even number that is prime is the number 2.

Only the number 2. All other even number can be divided by three or more numbers: 1, 2 and itself. Prime numbers can only be divided by 1 and itself.
