Electric Potential

Okay I am stuck on this one too.
If the electric field equals zero at a given point must the potential difference equal zero?
I know that even if the potential is zero there can still be a field, an example of this is a dipole.
But I would think that even if the E field is zero then there could be a potential difference because of the gradient.
I am not sure either way. an example would help but I cant think of one.
Thanks again
Tina
