Yes, a number of countries have had their central bank limit restrict (ban) bitcoin in one manner or another.
Uganda (Central bank) Kenya (Central bank, since 2015) Argentina (central bank restrictions on "financial institutions", but exchanges still operate) El Salvador (IMF, persuading)
This is not a comprehensive list, and in addition there remain dozens and dozens of countries where bitcoin use is banned in one form or another by the government itself (e.g., Ukraine).
