Yes. There are 57 members of the OIC, the Organization for Islamic Cooperation.

The OIC (Oranization of the Islamic Conference) has 57 member states, with 3 observer states.

It would be impossible to determine exactly how many Islamic states there are because a.) how do you determine what a "state" is exactly? and b.) how do you determine it is Islamic? (Majority? Government?)

But, it would be safe to say there are 57 recognized Islamic states by the OIC.
