In general no, but in one specific special case yes.
A rhombus is a quadrilateral in which all four sides are of equal length.
A square is a special case of a rhombus in which all four angles are equals (to 90°).
A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which all four angles are equal (to 90°) and opposite sides are equal in length
A square is a special case of a rectangle in which all four sides are equal in length.
Thus the only rectangle that can be a rhombus is the special case when a rectangle is a square (which is also a rhombus).

Is a rectangle also a rhombus?
No.
Why is every rhombus a rectangle?
They both have parallel lines and they have only 2 sides that match up. Also a square is a rhombus and a rectangle, so a rhombus can be a rectangle, but a rhombus cannot be a square and either can a rectangle.
Are rectangles also rhombus?
Most rectangles are not rhombuses, but there is a shape that has all the properties of a rectangle and all the properties of a rhombus at the same time. It is called a square. A square is a special rectangle and a special rhombus.
Is rectangle a rhombus?
yes * * * * * Not true. A rectangle has two pairs of sides which are of DIFFERENT length. All sides of a rhombus are the same length. Therefore, a rectangle is NOT a rhombus.
Can a rumbi be a rectangle?
Yes. A rhombus has four equal sides. A rectangle has four right angles. If a rhombus were also a rectangle, it would have four equal sides and four right angles. Thus it would be a square.
