Yes, according to uscis.gov. If you were born in the United States, whether to a married or unmarried mother, to parents who are not U.S. citizens, or to parents either of which is a U.S. citizen, you are a U.S. citizen by birth.
Please note that USCIS does not issue Certificates of Citizenship in cases where the person became a U.S. citizen based on birth in the United States. USCIS only issues Certificates of Citizenship to those individuals who were born abroad but are U.S. citizens at birth through their parents, or who became citizens after birth but before the age of 18.
The specific cases regarding married or unmarried and married foreign national father are covered in my post above, but reproduced below:

There are two interesting bits here from uscis.gov about people born outside the U.S. and territories:
1.
One parent is a U.S. citizen at the time of birth and the birthdate is before November 14, 1986 but after October 10, 1952
The parents are married at the time of birth and the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. or its territories for a period of at least ten years at some time in his or her life prior to the birth, at least five of which were after his or her 14th birthday.
2.
I am claiming citizenship through my mother. My parents were not married at the time of my birth. Does this affect whether I automatically acquired citizenship?
It may. You acquired U.S. citizenship at the time of your birth if you were born out of wedlock after December 23, 1952 and your U.S. citizen mother was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for at least one year prior to your birth.
So according to this a bastard born outside the U.S. to a 14-year-old U.S. citizen mother who had lived in the U.S. or its outlying possessions for at least a year prior to his birth is automatically a citizen, but if he is born to a 18 year old U.S. citizen mother who was, at the time of his birth, married to a foreign citizen then he is not a citizen because she had not been "physically present in the U.S. or its territories" at least 5 years after her 14th birthday.
And from
another page:
Born in Wedlock
Child of U.S. Citizen Parent and Foreign National Parent[8]
A child born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions acquires citizenship at birth if at the time of birth:
One parent is a foreign national and the other parent is a U.S. citizen; and
The U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States for at least 5 years, including at least 2 years after 14 years of age.
Out of wedlock
A child born out of wedlock outside of the United States and its outlying possessions acquires citizenship at birth if:
The child was born after December 23, 1952;
The child’s mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the child’s birth; and
The child’s U.S. citizen mother was physically present in the United States or outlying possession for one continuous year prior to the child’s birth.[12]
