If you mean a Lunar eclipse during a new moon, then the answer is no: this is impossible. A Lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon, and so it can only happen during Full Moon.
In the case of a Solar eclipse, the Moon must be new. This is because a Solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is directly between the Sun and the Earth. Unfortunately, I've never seen a Solar eclipse. I hope to some day, though.

Kinda hard isn't it? I mean, celestial dynamics aside, it's all dark then. What exactly would be shadowed? That's like watching a solar eclipse at night.
