If you are talking about integers, then the answer is no.
A number is either of the form 2n (even) or of the form 2n + 1 (odd).
This can be seen by adding 1 to each of these numbers:
An even number plus one is of the form 2n + 1 and so, it is odd.
An odd number plus one is of the form (2n+1)+1 = 2(n+1) and hence is even.
For other numbers it does not normally make sense to call them odd or even.
For instance any real number x can be written as x = 2*(x/2) and it would be even.
On the other hand it can also be written as 2*(x-1/2)+1 and it would be odd.
In that sense, all non-integers are neither even nor odd.

*1 is an odd number * 0 is an even number
8.5 is neither odd nor even. Only integers (whole numbers) are called odd or even. All other numbers (like fractions) are neither odd nor even.
An even number can be divided by 2 evenly. An odd number will have a remainder of 1 when divided by 2. 0 is neither.
It is neither odd nor even. Only whole numbers can be odd or even.
Every integer (whole numbers, including positives, negatives, and zero) is either odd or even. No number is both odd and even. Other numbers, such as fractions that don't reduce to an integer, irrational numbers, and pure imaginary numbers are neither odd nor even. Zero is an even number and is not an odd number.
