No, you cannot give Zakat to your parents or grandparents. This is because supporting your parents is already your responsibility. One cannot give Zakat vertically in the family tree (to parents, grand parents, children, etc). However, one can give Zakat horizontally across the family tree (to siblings, cousins, etc).
