YES.
The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is without a doubt the fastest animal on earth. It has been clocked in diving speeds of up to 90 meters per second and is quite possibly the most efficient of all predators.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, peregrine falcons have been known to dive at speeds in excess of 217 miles per hour!

The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest creature on the planet in its hunting dive, the stoop, in which it soars to a great height, then dives steeply at speeds in excess of 200mph (320 km/h) into either wing of its prey, so as not to harm itself on impact. The top speed recorded is 242.3mph (390 km/h).
