Saturn has 61 identified moons with secure orbits, but we don't know for sure if there are more to yet be discovered. There are millions of smaller rocks and particles orbiting the planet - in the planets extensive ring system. These could be describes as satellites. There is also one artificial satellite in orbit around the planet called Cassini-Huygens, which was put there in 2004 and is still there today.
