No, Venus has no moons.

Either none were formed during its history as a planet, or any that may have been formed could have been pulled from orbit by the gravity of the Sun and other planets. Mercury, even closer to the Sun, also has no moons.

Any moon in too close an orbit could be destroyed by tidal forces (the Roche Limit). The tidal forces on a Venusian moon would differ from those on Earth's Moon. Rotationally speaking, Venus is practically standing still, and would exert a slowing force on any moons, no matter which direction they orbited in.
