Kähler differentials on an Artinian local ring

Suppose $R$ is a commutative Artinian local ring over an algebraically closed characteristic 0 field $k$. Suppose $f\in R$ is such that $df=0$ (in the sense that the element $df$ vanishes in the module of Kähler differentials). Is $f$ necessarily in $k$?
