Yes. Ammonia or triethylamine would be classic molecules to illustrate. With ammonia - NH3, the nitrogen has 5 valence electrons in total. Three of those electrons share with 3 electrons from 3 hydrogens to form 3 covalent N-H bonds. The other two valence electrons are a lone pair. They do not take part in bonding.
