No, there are living things, such as bacteria, which have only one cell, each cell being an individual.

It's generally accepted though that the smallest and most basic unit of a living organism would have to be one cell, which would exclude viruses and the like. There are broader definitions that include them, however.

(Viruses don't have any cells, they're basically a lipid-proteic capsule and RNA or DNA).
