Yes, quite a few, actually.
Here's a list:
Benin, Bolivia, Chile, Cote d'Ivoire, Malaysia, Montenegro, Netherlands, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Swaziland, Tanzania.
The government of the Republic of China (Taiwan, but it's complicated) also technically claims Nanjing (on the mainland) as its official capitol, with Taipei considered the provisional capitol. Taipei is definitely the de facto capitol of Taiwan, though.
Also, Israel considers its capitol to be Jerusalem, but the UN recognizes Tel Aviv. And there is also some question in Japan about Kyoto having a claim to being the capitol vs. Tokyo.
For more details, see the link.

I am unaware of this as the capital is generally where the national government is located. I find it very unlikely that the national government can be split over two capital cities for economic and security reasons. Also it is just a logical idea to have the national government in one place.
