No, lemmings (Lemmini tribe) are not members of the same family as hares (Lepus spp).

Specifically, lemmings are members of the Cricetidaefamily. They share membership with such rodents as hamsters, New World mice and rats, and voles. In contrast, hares share membership in the Leporidae family with rabbits.
