Can you NAT a range of addresses into one single address?

We have a range of ip addresses that we need to translate into a valid ip addressing scheme, but we don't want to allocate a pool of addresses as we are short of addresses on our network. Can we translate a group of addresses into one single address using NAT in order to conserve address space?
