No, bacteria do not have nuclei. This is one of the defining features of bacteria that has resulted in them being classified as prokaryotes and very distinct from the eukaryotes (animal and plant cells).

Bacteria have genetic material that is loosely organized but is not bound by a nuclear membrane.
