Not in the onion itself, but if an onion is left in the ground, it will send up a stalk from its center and a seed head will form at the top. You can sometimes see the start of this stalk inside onions that have been stored for a while.

The onion plant is capable of flowering and the flowers do produce seeds, but they are microscopic. Also farmers growing onions for sale never allow these flowers to develop. Only seed companies permit the onion flowers to develop and hand pollinate them for seed production.
