We generalise the equations governing relativistic fluid dynamics to generalised \(f(R)\) theories of gravity. In particular, we show that within the framework of general \(f(R)\) theories, a perfect fluid spacetime with vanishing vorticity, shear and acceleration is Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker only if the fluid has in addition a barotropic equation of state. It then follows that the Ehlers-Geren-Sachs theorem and its ``almost'' extension also hold for \(f(R)\) theories of gravity.
