Not Exacly. But you can use empty.
Like This:
- just reset in Mapping Node Position
- create new Empty and drag to surface of your Cube
- Add in Texture Cordinate Object - "Empty"
And should looks like that:

$\begingroup$ thank you for the help but there is a problem : when I send the empty to the top of the cube the circle disappears $\endgroup$– biloJan 22 at 17:19

Here's a fun way: create a setup like this:
Now add 3 drivers to Combine XYZ node:
The simplest way to do that is to right-click X Location in the Numbers Panel in 3D viewport, "Copy as a New Driver", right-click on the X field in Combine XYZ node, Paste Driver, right-click, Edit Driver, change to Scripted Expression, change sign, repeat for the two other drivers.
Now you can search for a sphere, and once you're done, you can duplicate the Combine XYZ node:
Move the cube back to XYZ=0,0,0, and use your saved (duplicated) Combine XYZ nodes:
