The dynamic viscosity of mercury is greater than water. See this table:
Dynamic Viscosities for some common Liquids
The kinematic viscosity is the dynamic viscosity divided by the density. Mercury is a lot denser than water, so its kinematic viscosity is lower than the kinematic viscosity of water. But that’s just because mercury is very dense.
