Yes, but a wind turbine is allowed to spin at variable speeds - its rotation is not synchronized to the grid frequency in the same way that hydroelectric and thermal turbines are.
In order to get a wind turbine's power output to match the grid frequency, it goes through an AC -> DC -> AC conversion in a component known as a double-fed induction generator (DFIG).
