Yes, but the flavor will differ slightly. Key limes are both more acidic and bitter than the larger Persian lime. This gives then a distinctly stronger flavor. For desserts and drinks featuring lime, such as key lime pie, a regular lime will give a much milder flavor. A preference for one or the other often depends on what recipe is used, or the individual using it.
