Yes, there is! "Under" means something is directly below or under another. "Underneath" means something is covered by something else, or "beneath" it. Although sometimes they are used interchangeably. Ex: Your shoes are underneath the table. = Your shoes are under the table. Ex: My phone was underneath my book. Ex: The clock hangs just under the painting.
