In general, no, but there are some situations in which using a comma after "but" is correct. If the word "but" is followed by an expression that needs to be set off by commas, then you would put a comma after "but" and another comma after the expression. Here is an example:
I was going to say no, but, because you have presented such a persuasive argument, I have decided to allow it.
