No. The last ANZAC, Alec Campbell, died on 16th May 2002.

If by ANZAC soldiers you mean the men who landed at Gallipoli in 1915, all of the Australians are now dead. The following three men were honoured on a release of stamps by Australia Post in January, 2000.

Alec Campbell, the last ANZAC and last surviving participant of the Gallipoli campaign, died of pneumonia, at the age of 103 on the 16th May, 2002.

Roy Longmore died in his sleep at the age of 107 on 29th of June, 2001.

Walter Parker died peacefully at a nursing home in Melbourne at the age of 105 on the 25th of January, 2000.

There may yet be one surviving New Zealand ANZAC. Perhaps somebody can advise.
