Venus
It's Venus, not Mercury. Mercury spins slowly, but not in a retrograde rotation. Venus spins the opposite way from the other planets, except for one of the outer planets (Uranus).

Venus is the only planet in our solar system that spins clockwise on its axis. This is also known as a retrograde rotation.
Any planet, moon or object that rotates in the opposite to us (Well we have to have a common denominator) is said to be in retrograde rotation (or retrograde motion) But most objects in the solar system appear to spin counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole, so this is normal rotation, not retrograde.
Retrograde refers to a planetary movement in which specific planets turn in a different direction than others. Planets with retrograde movements are Uranus and Venus.

The general direction of rotation of everything in the solar system is anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from an imaginary distant point above the Earth's North pole.If a planet spins the other way, clockwise, we call that sort of rotation "retrograde".
Venus is the planet that rotates retrograde, meaning it spins in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system. Its rotation is very slow and takes longer than its orbit around the Sun, resulting in a unique day that is longer than its year.
