Sure.
While editing a Page, scroll down a bit and expand the “Page Template” section. This is below the Page editor.
Under advanced fields I have:
Custom Fields,
Comments Pings
Password Protect
Page parent
Page order…
Thats it. I can’t see the Template option.
I also have the exact same issue. I’ve tried different themes just in case that was an issue.
Mine is right after “Page Parent”.
Is it possible that the theme you’re using doesn’t have any Page templates created? By default, Pages will use index.php or page.php if no other templates exist.
Template_Hierarchy (see the Pages section)
NOTE: In order to access the Page Template selector, there must be at least one custom Page Template available in the active theme (see Creating your own Page Templates below to learn how to create one).

I haven’t tried it but it looks like you just need to create a page.php clone, rename it then put this code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Any-Page-Name
*/
?>
I’ll try if this would work for my blog..cause so far I’m using this link to create different looks for my pages

@asrai, that’s it. Does a real good job for special pages.
For me, it was a simple solution. I just had to log out and log back in before new page templates showed up.
@asrai, THANK YOU. That just helped me so much!
I just had this issue however it was because I had renamed style.css. Must be css controlling something about that. possibly visibility? Didn’t do any more research into it.
