You have to disclose it if you intend on answering honestly and/or if you believe they will do background checks and contact the former employer for a reference or to confirm what happened with your employment. There is no central database or repository for this information, so in that sense you could lie and hope to get away with it, but the correct honest answer is that you were terminated, though certainly you can explain the circumstances if they help you.
