Yes, but there is no real reason to.
Some Catholics do not regard the baptism of a person as valid unless it is carried out in the Catholic church. However, as long as the baptism of a person is carried out in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (as instituted by Jesus himself at the very end of Matthew's Gospel) then that baptism is valid whatever the denomination. One is baptised a Christian and not a member of a particular denomination of the Christian Church. Therefore to be baptised again into another denomination is not only not needed, it could be regarded as a snub on the denomination in which the first baptism took place - as ifm it wasn't a 'proper' baptism - and, as such, is unChristian.
As the Anglican Church, Catholic Church, Baptists, Methodists, URC and almost all other denominations of the Christian Church baptise in this way, in the name of the Trinity, then all are valid according to scripture. Those that are not include Mormon baptism (where the vows and beliefs are so different) and the baptism of Jehovah's Witnesses who deny the divinity of Christ and therefore cannot baptise in the name of the Trinity as commanded in Matthew's Gospel.
