No.
As far as I know the Finance::Quote module that GnuCash uses has no
provision to fetch historical prices.
If you are into scripting and web scraping, checkout Selenium which has
a nice Python interface.
Good luck!

2. Import from a CSV file:-
(File / Import / Import prices from a CSV file)
OK, Is there a way that I can generate this CSV file using `gnc-fq-dump` or
`gnucash-cli` or similar so that I can script something to fetch/generate a CSV
file and then import that CSV file for all my stocks for a specific date?

Hi Michael
You can't do this.
Alternatives:-
1. Key the prices directly into the Price Database:-
(Tools / Price Data Database / Add)
2. Import from a CSV file:-
(File / Import / Import prices from a CSV file)
Historical prices are available from, inter alia, https://finance.yahoo.com/

How can I tell GNU Cash to update its "Price Database" for all known
currencies, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc for a *specific* day?
I'm trying trying to prepare a report for a date in the past. I've set the
`Options` for the report to `nearest in time` so that it will grab the prices
for the commodities from the Price Database that are closest to the date of the
report as possible.

Well, I checked the Price Database, and I have gaps in the prices for some of
my stocks. For many stocks, I don't have any prices defined for the day of the
report. Therefore, my report may be inaccurate.
I know that I can go to `Tools` -> `Price Database` and click the `Get Quotes`
button. This will fetch the current quote (price) and add it to the Price Database
for all defined currencies, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc. But that will fetch
and add the prices for *today's date* only.
How can I do the equivalent of `Get Quotes` but for a specific day in the
*past*?
