Yes, there are quite a few. Some are even more or less sound.
The Muzio and the Cochrane Gambit, for instance
the bishop sacrifice
In the fried liver attack, you sac your knight in the beginning in order to rip your opponent's king out into the center and threaten checkmate. If your opponent doesn't know the exact proper moves in response to this attack, it has a good chance of giving you an advantage.
Petroff Chocrane gambit, Halloween gambit, King's Gambit Muzio just to name a few with e4-e5. There are piece sacs in the Najdorf. Not to mention some of the sharp Semi Slav lines if i'm not mistaken.
No one mentioned Traxler 2Knights?
U sac a rook
U sac a rook
U sac a rook
The Traxler counter attack. u sac a bishop, BUT IT ALWAYS WINS!
