No. Astronauts have orbited over the far side of the moon, but have never landed on it. The main reason is that they would be unable to communicate with Earth.

How many Americans have been on the moon?
So far 12 American astronauts have landed and walked on the moon.
How often do yo see the far side of the moon?
Only 21 people have ever seen the far side of the Moon; they are all the Apollo astronauts. Since nobody has gone to the Moon in the last 45 years, most people NEVER see the far side of the Moon.
Did astronauts walk on the far side of the moon?
No, there have been no astronauts landing or walking on the far side of the moon. None have landed in darkness there, either. It is considered too dangerous. This is because it is not possible for communication signals to reach the earth from the far side. Also, the terrain is very rough, making finding a landing site difficult in the dark. The landings must take place on the side of the moon facing earth, and in the light.Note: There is no "dark side of the moon" in reality. All sides of the moon get direct sunlight as the moon circles the earth. There is, however, only one side that faces earth, and it is the only side we see from here. That gives the moon a "back side" rather than a dark side.

All the Apollo landings were on the near side as opposed to the far side (a better term than "dark side", since it isn't actually any darker... statistically, it's very slightly lighter than the near side).However, all the missions which involved a landing, plus a few others, did take the astronauts completely around the Moon. Astronauts on Apollo 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 did get to see the far side of the Moon.
