No. Rabbits have their own classification called lagomorphs.

To be precise, rabbits are Lagomorpha. Lagomorpha are an order of mammals of which there are two (2) families, Leporidae (hares and rabbits), and Ochotonidae (pikas).

Though members of order Lagomorpha can resemble rodents (order Rodentia), and were classified as a superfamily in that order until the early twentieth century, they have since been considered a separate order. For a time it was common to consider the lagomorphs only distant relatives of the rodents, to whom they merely bore a superficial resemblance; however, genetic studies have since shown that, while still distinct from rodents, they are indeed very closely related after all.

Actually when rabbits first came out into the world they were said to had been from the rodent family (for those others that don't seem to know what they are talking about). They are very good pets and they can easily be litter trained.
