As far as I can tell there is none. However, there are several hacks  
that can do what you want

1. You could start by centering your array by putting it within a  
center environment (not really what you want but easy)
2. You could supress paragraph indentation as in

\noindent%
\begin{tabular}{etc.

which pushes your table to the current left margin

2. You could add negative horizontal space before your array as in

\noindent\kern-1cm%
\begin{tabular}{etc.

which pushes your table to the left...

Have fun!
