No. Most species of kangaroo are herbivores, which is a group of plant eating animals, although some of the smaller members of the kangaroo family are omnivores.
Having said that, however, there have been occasional reports of kangaroos attacking people. In one, a kangaroo was startled near a dam on a man's property while he was walking his dog. The dog took off after the kangaroo, which turned and grabbed the dog and literally held it under water, forcing the farmer to enter the dam to save his dog. The kangaroo then turned on the man, biting and kicking at him, while he was trying to keep his dog above water. The farmer had to deliver a hefty punch before the kangaroo turned and fled.
In another recent case, a boy in a schoolyard was attacked by a wallaby - a smaller relative of the kangaroo - while innocently playing. He was scratched and bitten.
Even more recently, in July 2011, a 94 year old woman was hanging out washing in her backyard in the small town of Charleville, western Queensland, when a big Red bounded out of the bush and attacked her without reason, causing her to be hospitalised. During the process, it certainly left some decent bite marks in her leg.
These cases serve as a warning - kangaroos, like all wild animals, are unpredictable. They do not eat people, but they should be treated with caution nonetheless.
