No, definitely not. If you absolutely must shampoo your rabbit, look carefully for a safe shampoo. Most common shampoos made for humans -- even ones for babies -- are not safe to use on rabbits. Rabbits have sensitive skin and you could easily give them a chemical burn or irritated skin, leading to infection, if you use a harsh shampoo or soap. Any shampoo that has whitening in it, or bleach, or colour dye, should DEFINITELY be AVOIDED!!
If you must bathe your rabbit, look for a hypoallergenic, non-medicated shampoo with natural ingredients. A natural oatmeal shampoo made for cats is often recommended. Avoid chemicals and long ingredient lists: look for something simple and natural.
It's widely recommended not to bathe your rabbit at all! Rabbits are clean animals and they wash themselves. If your rabbit is dirty and needs a bath, something is wrong and it should probably see a vet. Baths can be very dangerous for rabbits! Many rabbits become ill or injured when people give them a bath. See the related question below for more details.

Do you use water for a rabbit's bath?
Healthy rabbits don't need to take baths at all. Rabbits are clean animals: they wash themselves. If your rabbit needs a bath, something is wrong -- maybe his habitat is too dirty, or maybe he's sick and needs a vet. Don't just bathe the rabbit: deal with the cause of the problem, too! If your rabbit needs a bath, it's best to try the "dry bath" method first, which does not use water. If the dry bath doesn't work, then you can try a spot bath with a wet wash cloth. If that doesn't work, either, then you can try a full bath with water and possibly a gentle and safe shampoo but only VERY CAREFULLY. Baths are dangerous for rabbits, and you could easily injure the rabbit or make it ill if you give it a bath. See the related question below for details.
