Of the type often seen in movies where the body is rotten, no. Dead tissue doesn’t move.
However, there are approximations:
For starters there’s a type of fungus that hijacks ants, using it to spread its spores into other ants. It can control the ants movement to the point where it will cause the and to go to certain good spore-spread8ng places before the ant is devoured.
Then there’s the disease that affects raindeer in some places. I don’t remember the illness, but basically the mind goes byebye while the body is left to be controlled by less and less sophisticated parts of the brain, to the point where the animal can do nothing but walk in circles.

I mean, those fungi are crazy.
But my money is either on a rabies or toxoplasmosis mutation for the zombie apocalypse.
They wouldn’t be the living dead, and I dont think there’d be anything to stop them from attacking each other, but that’s be pretty close to zombies.
Just feral humans without higher brain function trying to attack and eat anything they can.
imagine being a spore and becoming conscious inside an ant, with an animal’s brain.
That’s NOT how those spores work bro, they don’t gain cousciousness lmao
Also, ants aren’t even conscious themselfs
EDIT: Typos.
probably yeah but its a lot of fun to imagine
Agree, that’s funny lol
