Yes of course!
Lots of animals will eat wasps – other insects such as dragonflies and other wasp species, as well as lots of mammals like mice, rats, badgers, etc. Also humans and monkeys! Finally, most bird species would eat wasps along with other insects.
There is a good article in New Scientist here: http://www.newscientist.com/blog/lastword/2005/03/does-anything-eat-wasps.html
