True.

A contact force is a force between two objects that are physically in contact with each other: an example of a contact force is the normal reaction of a table supporting a book.

A non-contact force is a force between two objects that are not physically in contact with each other: an example of non-contact force is the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Moon.
