No, $100 is the highest denomination US bill currently produced.

High-value bills in denominations of $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000 were produced up till 1945, although all of the final issues carried the so-called "series date" 1934. The two highest denominations were rarely in circulation, while $500 and $1000 bills were used by businesses in the days before electronic payments.

Until 1969 it was possible to obtain these bills through the banking system. However they had become popular with organized criminals who used them in money laundering, drugs transactions, and so on. In an effort to curb that abuse President Nixon ordered banks to halt distribution of any bills larger than $100, and required them to send any that were deposited back to the Treasury. Interestingly the bills were never formally withdrawn, but are effectively gone from circulation anyway.

In addition to these bills, special $100,000 gold certificates were printed in 1934 and 1935. Despite being used only for funds transfers within the Federal Reserve System they're considered to be the highest-denomination US currency ever issued.
