Yes, other planets of the solar system also experience eclipses.
An eclipse occurs whenever one celestial body comes between a source of light and another body. Just like Earth, other planets have moons and revolve around the Sun. When a moon comes between its planet and the Sun (solar eclipse), eclipses occur on those planets as well.
