No: Once your growth plates are closed you will not grow in height. By age 20 your growth plates in your bones should be closed.

Probably too late...: I am sorry to tell you that most men stop growing around age 18- but occasionally some will grow until age 21 or so. Taking measures to increase your production of growth hormone might help, but if your growth plates have closed (like most 18 yo's) then you've reached your max.
