It depends.

A terminating decimal is a rational number.

A decimal which, after a finite number of places, becomes a repeating (or recurrent) decimal is also a rational number.

A decimal that is not terminating, nor [eventually] settles into a recurring pattern is not a rational number.

Note that the decimal need not become recurring immediately.
