Yes, Ubuntu 16.04 with the default desktop environment (Unity) does. The default file manager application for Ubuntu 16.04 (Unity) called Files (GNOME Files to be precise) is formerly and internally known as Nautilus.

You can make sure Ubuntu 16.04 includes Nautilus (and it is actually the Files application) in multiple ways.

  1. Run 

    apt-cache policy nautilus

    In the output there should be a version number next to Installed: instead of Installed: (none).

  2. Run nautilus in Terminal, Files will be launched.

  3. Open Files. Open Terminal and run xprop. The mouse pointer should change to a crosshair. Place the crosshair over Files window and click. It should list many info about the window, which includes

     WM_CLASS(STRING) = "nautilus", "Nautilus"
