The Fermi paradox says yes. Whether we ever meet them or not is a far different question.

Drake's equation says* yes.
Fermi's paradox is only a question; If advanced life is so common in the universe, then why is there no evidence of it outside Earth?
*Drake's equation doesn't actually say yes. Different people have used it to different results with some indicating the number of civilizations per galaxy are well below 1 and others saying it's as high as 10,000 per galaxy. It assumes too much likelihood of complex events we don't know enough about to definitively say anything.
