Kangaroos are distantly related to koalas. They are both marsupials, and both are members of the order Diprotodontia. After that, they diverge into different families, with the koala belonging to the family Phascolarctidae, and the kangaroo belonging to the family Macropodidae.

Only very remotely; they are both mammals. But then, so are tigers and humans.
