There are plenty available, for sure - however the hole positions aren't standard unfortuantely so your best bet is to try a version made by the manufacturer of your existing hinges. Don't know if even that would be foolproof though.
The name is often, but not always, embossed on the hinge somewhere; failing that do you know where the original furniture was purchased?
