Yes, according to some Islamic traditions, Jibreel (Gabriel) is described as having 600 wings.

According to a narration attributed to Abdullah ibn Mas'ood (RA), the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) saw Jibreel in his true form, and he had six hundred wings. The narration also describes the vastness of Jibreel, stating that each wing covered the horizon and that jewels, pearls, and rubies fell from his wings. Only Allah knows the true extent of this description. This narration is found in Al-Musnad.
