No. Venus and Mercury have no moons. In the case of Mercury, this is probably due to the Sun's gravity. Earth's Moon is currently believed to have been formed from the Earth in a primordial collision. One or both of the two small moons of Mars may have similarly formed, while many of the small moons around the larger planets are likely captured asteroids.
