Yes.  It's called `realloc'.

If you're asking if there's a "reallocate" equivalent in the new/delete
model, then the answer is no.  If you think about what that should or
might mean in terms of calling an object's constructors and destructors,
it should become clear why it wasn't included a part of the language.
