  We report a glitch-like pulse frequency deviation from the simple spin-down
law in an anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 4U 0142+61 detected by ASCA
observations. We also found a significant pulse profile change after the
putative glitch. The glitch parameters resemble those found in another AXP 1RXS
J170849.0$-$400910, in the Vela pulsar, and in other radio pulsars. This
suggests that the radio pulsars and AXPs have the same internal structure and
glitch mechanism. It must be noted, however, that the pulse frequency anomaly
can also be explained by a gradual change of the spin-down rate ($\dot{P}$)
without invoking a glitch.
