Yes, he mentions them about seven times in various plays and several times in the long poems. Most famous, perhaps, is Gertrude's statement in Hamlet that Ophelia was able to float "mermaid-like" because of her dress. The most important feature of mermaids from Shakespeare's point of view was that they sang songs which enticed sailors to their deaths. Thus Richard III in his famous and very long soliloquy in Henry VI Part 3 says he will "drown more sailors than the mermaid shall." Lucio in Measure for Measure uses the word "sea-maid" which means the same thing.
