No. Raptors belong to the Dromaeosaurid Therapod family of dinosaurs. Tyrannosaurs belong to the family tyrannasauroidae a different part of the Therapod family tree.

The dromaeosaurids and tyrannosaurs are closely related within the coelurosaurian clade. Other members were ornithomimosaurs, alvarezasaurs, compsognathids, therizinosaurs, oviraptorosaurs, troodontids, and birds. Some scientists say that early tyrannosaurs such as proceratosaurus and guanlong of the jurassic were small raptors thus that the legendary tyrannosaurus rex descended from raptor-like creatures.
