Several 9mm carbines have been made, as mentioned above. Beretta also makes a 9mm carbine http://www.cx4storm.com/
and there are 9mm variants of the AR-15

The 9.3x74R and other 9.3mm rifle cartridges are popular in Europe. Here is a Ruger No.1 in 9.3x74R: http://www.gunsamerica.com/977004232/Guns/Rifles/Ruger-Rifles/1-Type/Ruger_No_1_S_Single_Shot_Sporter_9_3X74R.htm

Ha! I can supply FAR more photos of 9mm carbines!
Oh yes, certainly the are 9mm rifles.
Actually for the most part, these rifles are carbine-length, because 9mm performs best from shorter barrels, but carbines are still considered rifles.
Most are semi-auto only versions of popular 9mm submachineguns with barrels extended to 16 inches.
some examples are:
The UZI carbine,
The Mini-UZI carbine,
The Micro-UZI carbine,
The HK 94 carbine and it's clones,
The Hi-Point 9mm carbine,
The MPA (Mac-11) carbine and it's clones,
The Lusa A2 carbine,
The Commando Arms carbine,
The Beretta Storm carbine,
The Colt AR-15 9mm carbine and its clones,
The Marlin camp carbine,
The Ruger PC9 carbine,
and numerous others.
You can look up photos of almost all of these, and others I didn't mention, at:

and scroll down and find the above names.
Happy New Year!

Everybody's answering as if you mean 9mm Parabellum, which is probably true, but let's not forget old cartridges like 9x57, ballistically equal to the excellent 358 Winchester but much older. Of course, they've pretty well lost out even in the European market to the more popular 9.3mm's, but the old shooters are still around if rare.

Such items do exist.

I tried to show the Ruger, but their site was loading too slow for me tonight for some reason, but you get the idea. A carbine is just a short, compact rifle.
Certain gun-specific details not-withstanding, but generally speaking a manufacturer can chamber any caliber cartridge in basically any type of firearm. That doesn't mean its pleasant to shoot or worth a damn, but it can be done. So-called "pistol calibers" can be put in rifles/carbines and things like the Thompson Contender in calibers like .308 Winchester, and larger (even magnum rifle cartridges) show that big "rifle" cartridges can migrate onto a pistol platform. There's nothing cast in stone saying certain cartridges are for handguns only or rifles only.

I haven't seen a rifle but Ruger and Hi-Point make 9mm carbines. If you were going to get one, go with the Ruger. I'm sure there are more, but these are just two that come to mind.

Sure there is a 9mm rifle. I own a Hi-Point model 995 and I love it. I bought a 15rd mag for it out of the centerfire Systems catalog, mounted a tactlite under the muzzle break and its a BMF! Buy one they're cheap, and they really shoot, and function well!

There have also been a number of 9 mm rifle calibers other than something using the pistol cartridge.

WWD forgot to mention the 9x56 Mannlicher-Schoenauer, the 9x 63mm, and the 9x70mm Mauser.
That 9x63mm is very similar to the .35 Whelen, but it was developed some years before the .35 Whelen came along.
