No, and in German neither, in spite of some family names where an ancient spelling mistake was kept as a mark of distinction to the "ordinary" version.
"ck" is used for a double k, which originally signalled a short vowel sound in the syllable of which it is the end, like all double consonants in the words of Germanic origin.
The sound "nk" also makes the preceding vowel short, so a "ck" behind the "n" would have been redundant.

I don't believe there are any, however there are a couple of last names that end in nck:
Franck and Planck, both of whom are German physicists.
