Hi, Andy!

No, not as such. But you surely know that C-M-a goes _backwards_ to a
beginning of function. You can give a numeric argument of -1 to C-M-a
(`c-beginning-of-defun') to make it go forward to the next function
beginning, like this:
M-- C-M-a (that's "Meta minus" ....)
You might find this tedious if you want to do this a lot. In that case,
put something like this into your .emacs:
(defun my-next-c-function ()
"Go to start of next C function."
(interactive)
(c-beginning-of-defun -1))
(defun my-c-initialization-hook
(define-key c-mode-base-map [ ?\C-\M-\S-a ] 'my-next-c-function))
(add-hook 'c-initialization-hook 'my-c-initialization-hook)
This will define C-M-S-a ("Control-Meta-Shift a") to do what you want -
Replace with any other key binding you prefer by adapting the second
last line. If, like me, you use Emacs on a tty, that key binding needs
a fair amount of additional magic to work. On X, (or MS Windows), it's
just fine.
