No, unless you get into gnosticism or docetism (of which there must be some around the world) or something. I can't think of any large denominations either that don't believe in the virgin birth, at least not "officially" don't believe. Though in more liberal congregations the belief might be more mythical than actual.
EDIT: Some more polls:

60% of Methodist ministers polled didn't believe in the virgin birth. |
It could be argued that the Mormons don't believe in a virgin birth - their teaching is that Mary conceived by having intercourse with God. Or something like that.
