Superficially, kind of? There are many differences though. One is that the ether was proposed in order to provide a rest frame for light, whereas the fields upon which modern physics is based are fully relativistic. Another is that the ether was thought of as a physical thing thing with density, velocity, etc., and whereas fields can’t really be described in those terms, at least not as directly. It’s more that fields can give rise to them.

TL;DR an ether theory is similar to fields in that they permeate all of space, but they’re fundamentally different from each other in properties and mechanics.
