No, they are not the same.

Similes is a figure of speech that indirectly compares two unlike things by employing the words "like", "as", or "than" (more predominantly the former two).

Analogies are a cognitive process of transferring information or meaning from a particular subject (the analogue or source) to another particular subject (the target), and a linguistic expression corresponding to such a process.
