No. None of Shakespeare's works are based on the Cinderella story. It was a folktale in France, but was never written down until Charles Perreault did in 1697, about 100 years after Shakespeare. It is possible and even likely that Shakespeare did not know the Cinderella story.Only two of Shakespeare's plays are not based closely on a previous play, story or history book.

Were some of Shakespeare's most famous plays called Oliver Cinderella and Pocahontas?
The story Oliver Twist was written by Dickens in 1838, 220 years after Shakespeare died. The story of Cinderella is from Perreault's Fairy Tales, published in 1697, 81 years after Shakespeare died. Pocahantas was a real person who died in 1617 the year after Shakespeare did. However the famous story of her saving the life of John Smith was not told by Captain Smith until 1616, by which time Shakespeare was retired and on his deathbed. So basically Shakespeare could not have dramatised these stories and in fact he did not.
