No. Halley's Comet is a short-period comet that oribts the sun. It is too small and moves too fast to capture or hold a moon of it's own. Halley's Comet passes near the earth and sun every 75-76 years. It is the only short period comet visible with the naked eye. It made it's last appearance in the spring of 1986. It will make it's next appearance in July, 2061.

Among the Moon, Earth, Comet Halley, the dwarf planet Ceres, and Asteroid 12343, Comet Halley has the most non-circular orbit. Comet Halley's orbit is highly elliptical, taking it close to the Sun and then far out into the solar system, which is characteristic of many comets. In contrast, the orbits of the Moon, Earth, Ceres, and most asteroids, including Asteroid 12343, are more circular and less eccentric.
