Lots.

I personally like Eclipse the the CDT Plugin, so that I can write C++ code. Eclipse is in the Ubuntu Software Center, along with gcc, g++ (for C and C++ respectively), or you can do build-essential, which gets you all the essentials for compiling software.

You can use gedit and compile with the terminal via:
gcc -o myprog main.c
g++ -o myprog main.cpp

Another good editor is Code::Blocks, haven't used that one much, but others say its amazing.

You can use CDTs for example Eclipse or NetBeans. There is a lot of them.
