Yes and no. Some translations (most notably the King James version) translate the Hebrew re'em as "unicorn." There is debate on what animal it is referring to, in context it seems to refer to a real animal that would be known to a contemporary reader.
Most modern English translations use "wild ox" instead of "unicorn," as there is historical and archaeological evidence that suggests a species of ox that could appear to have one horn was present in the Middle East during the Old Testament time period.
These are the verses in which the word "unicorn" is sometimes found:
Deuteronomy 33:17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
Job 39:9-10 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
Psalms 22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
Psalms 29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
Psalms 92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Numbers 23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
Numbers 24:8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
Isaiah 34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
Additionally, the modern Hebrew word re'em refers to a desert antelope called the "oryx".
"Unicorn" is a possible translation of the Hebrew word "Re'em". Re'em is mention nine times in The Bible, referring to its wild nature and strength. Because there isn't a description of the animal (it was obviously well-known to those who where alive when the texts were written) it can't be specifically linked with the unicorn. Modern translations tend to translate re'em as "wild ox", a far more likely candidate.
It really does depend on the translation as to the exact word used. In some versions, the word unicorn does appear. One verse that it is sometimes used is:
Psalms 92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
There are no unicorns in the new testiment.

Ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer!
Yes. While the Hebrew word "Re'em" is translated as 'unicorn' in the King James version of the Bible (Numbers 23:22; 24:8; Deuteronomy 33:17; Job 39:9, 10; Psalm 22:21; 29:6; 92:10; Isaiah 34:7), the Latin Vulgate renders it 'rhinoceros', and others 'wild bull', 'wild ox', 'wild beast' or 'buffalo'. Most scholars now believe that the animal in question was most probably an 'auroch'(giant wild bull), and that the familiar image of the 'unicorn' came from reports about the rhinoceros brought back by European travelers.
