So… short answer is no, if you mean a self sufficient, self sustaining colony that could reasonably continue in perpetuity.
We just do not have the technology to pull that off at a basic level. Even with the best currently existing proposals, it would be massively, absurdly expensive, as well as dangerous, and far, far too many things could go wrong.
Now if you mean a non self sustaining colony, one that gets frequently resupplied, offers the option to go back home… then we have the Moon.
Despite what Elon thinks, Mars is not a realistic option for anything other than conducting a sadistic experiment.
If you mean … exoplanets? And just assume we have a warp drive to get colonists there?
Unless I am mistaken, there are a few that could possibly harbor some kind of life, but almost certainly not us.
I don’t think we even have a rudimentary atmospheric composition estimate for any of the exo’s that are in the Goldilocks zone, if any of them at all.
