Yes, certainly!

a) open source common lisp
sbcl https://www.sbcl.org/  the fastest open source implementation

ecl  https://ecl.common-lisp.dev/       an embeddabale lisp

clisp https://clisp.sourceforge.io/

abcl https://armedbear.common-lisp.dev/ runs on the jvm

clozure  https://ccl.clozure.com/

b) commercial common lisp
allegro  https://franz.com/products/allegro-common-lisp/

lispworks   http://www.lispworks.com/

That is not common lisp, but still a good lisp for the jvm.
