Not unless you're /etc/crontab. See 'man 5 crontab':
The format of a cron command is very much the V7 standard, with
a number of upward-compatible extensions. Each line has five
time and date fields, followed by a command, followed by a new-
line character ('0). The system crontab (/etc/crontab) uses
the same format, except that the username for the command is
specified after the time and date fields and before the com-
mand.
