Answer

False.

Work Step by Step

If a function is differentiable at a point, it must be continuous at that point. However, the converse is not true. A counterexample would be finding the derivative at $x=0$ for $f(x)=|x|$. The function is continuous at $x=0$, but there is a "pointy spot", so the derivative must not exist.
