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).
