No, he was not.

Alexander the great was the son of Philip II of Macedon and Olympias, a princess of the ancient Greek country of Epirus. It was claimed by ancient historians that Hercules was an ancestor of Alexander's through his father's side, and during his reign Alexander did identify himself with Hercules, often depicting himself as the Greek hero on coins.
