Yes, the procedure name is PLUM and it's called Ordinal Regression on the Analyze>Regression menu.
 
Here's what the help says:
This procedure makes use of a general class of models to allow you to analyze the relationship between a polytomous ordinal dependent variable and a set of predictors. These models utilize the ordinal nature of the dependent variable and eliminate the need for rescaling.

Predictors can be any level of measurement. Interval or ordinal variables are treated as covariates and categorical variables as factors.

Does SPSS provide a way to analyze data using ordinal regression?  If
so, how?
