If your passport is in the Visa Waiver Program (the UK, most EU countries, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Singapore, Taiwan and others), yes, before you board. It costs about USD 40 on the official site, esta.cbp.dhs.gov, and is valid for two years or until your passport expires. Sites charging more are agents.
