Sure, there are. For example, if a serial killer asks you where your boyfriend is because they're trying to kill him, you should obviously lie. More plausibly, if someone asks you a question about your private life to which your refusal to answer would imply an answer all by itself, yeah, lying is perfectly fine.
BUT the key is that these are weird or extreme situations, and they don't imply that it's okay to lie in normal contexts. In normal situations, lying never does you any good because you end up having to back up all your lies with more lies to keep them plausible and you're in constant fear of being found out. What if person A talks to person B to whom I told x? And the more and bigger lies you tell, the more you'll feel like a fraud. Why do this to yourself? This whole headache can be avoided by just living your life the way you want to so that you can be proud of what you've done. If you're happy and secure, you won't be tempted to lie, because you'll either already have achieved what you want or be confident that you can achieve it in the future.
