No, the same side of the moon always faces Earth. The phase of the moon is caused by the shadow cast by Earth as the moon orbits.

I need to correct. The phase of the moon is caused by the half of the moon facing the sun and the relation to Earth. The shadow or Earth (or of the moon) is what happens in eclipses.
