Yes, it is possible for an individual to win more than one Nobel Prize. The rules governing the awards explicitly state that they can be awarded more than once to the same recipient.1
A prominent example of this is Marie Curie, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 and the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911, making her the only woman to win the award in two different fields.2
