In a sense, yes. Alligators are related to dinosaurs, or rather, are the only surviving dinosaurs that did not "evolve." Birds are also surviving dinosaurs, but they evolved from the larger, reptilian types of dinos. Alligators, and crocodiles, just got smaller.
I know what you are thinking, "How does that answer the question? It asks if alligators are related to dragons, not dinosaurs."
In ancient times, people referred to dinosaurs as dragons. Dragons are also mentioned in The Bible to refer to dinosaurs.
