According to the Assyrian Church of the East, Oriental Orthodoxy, Eastern Orthodoxy, the Catholic Church, Anglicanism, Lutheranism, Presbyterianism, and Methodism, yes.

With the ACoE, OOC, EOC, and CC it's a title conferred by the Church. Via popular devotion to an individual Christian known for their holiness, wonder working, nearness to God, charity, intercessory power, and theological wisdom, and formally through canonization.

Among the Orthodox, it is not conferred, it is recognized. Someone can be a Saint and entirely unknown.
