No.  If the amount received as a gift from a foreign individual is less than $100,000, the Form 3520 is not required.

IRS Form 3520 instructions - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i3520.pdf

4. You are a U.S. person who, during the current tax year, received either: 
a. More than $100,000 from a nonresident alien individual or a foreign estate (including foreign persons related to that nonresident alien individual or foreign estate) that you treated as gifts or bequests; or
b. More than $15,601 from foreign corporations or foreign partnerships (including foreign persons related to such foreign corporations or foreign partnerships) that you treated as gifts.

As an aside, you can record that gift as non taxable income in the Salles Tax deduction section.
