No. The rotation of Neptune is not retrograde. Triton, Neptune largest moon, has a retrograde orbit.

What is the rotation of Triton?

Triton, Neptune's largest moon, has a unique retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates in the opposite direction to Neptune's rotation. It takes approximately 5.8 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis, which is also the same amount of time it takes to orbit Neptune. This synchronous rotation results in Triton always showing the same face to the planet as it orbits. Triton's unusual orbit and rotation suggest that it may have been captured by Neptune's gravity rather than forming in place.
