No, some, such as the negative ions of strong acids (like Cl-) and the positive ions of strong bases (like Na+), are neutral. Also, pure substances (elements by themselves, such as Cl or Ag etc.), if they are not ions at all and do not contain hydrogen or hydroxide, or are not proton/ electron donors/ acceptors, (or Lewis acids), can be neutral (neither acidic nor basic.)

Acidity and basicity aren't intrinsic properties. In different situations, one compound could act as an acid or a base.
