By definition, bacteria are prokaryotes, which means they contain no membrane-bound organelles (an organelle that is surrounded by a membrane). However, ribosomes are considered by some to be organelles, because of their importance to the cell, even though they are simply a complex of proteins and RNA molecules and are not surrounded by a membrane.

No organelles in prokaryotic cells.
Bacteria do have ribosomes, but ribosomes are not generally considered to be organelles because they are not enclosed in a membrane.
