No, sqlite3 databases are very lightweight systems. They need no server and all data is stored in one file. A username/password is not supported by the sqlite/sqlite3 package.

In order to achieve simplicity, SQLite has had to sacrifice other characteristics that some people find useful, such as high concurrency, fine-grained access control, a rich set of built-in functions, stored procedures, esoteric SQL language features, XML and/or Java extensions, tera- or peta-byte scalability, and so forth.

(sqlite, when to use)

However, since it's only a file you can encrypt the file with a password to protect your data.

SQLite doesn't have a concept of username/password. It's just a single file based database.

However, on Unix you can protect your database from other users on the same machine by setting the permissions of the database file itself.

e.g. Allow only owner access

chmod 700 /path/to/sqlitedb

If it's used in a simple web application then the web application will provide the control.
