It seems likely that it does, but we have never observed one yet. But Saturn is a long way away, and it would take a very large impact to be visible even with the Hubble. Perhaps with the Cassini probe now orbiting Saturn, we will be able to see this.

∙ 14y agoWhile we have never actually witnessed an impact on Saturn, the answer is certainly "Yes". Mercury, Earth, the Moon, Mars and Jupiter either bear the scars of asteroid impacts or have been actually been observed during an impact. The chances that Saturn would have been missed is nil. In fact, the recent Cassini mission to Saturn shows something that appears to be a large meteoroid or asteroid striking Saturn's rings and knocking material out of the ring plane.
