The relativistic generalization of the standard map is introduced, based on the problem of particle acceleration in the electric field of an electrostatic wave packet. It is shown that the diffusion is, in general, less effective than that for nonrelativistic particles. In the ultrarelativistic case chaotic motion appears in the form of intermittency.
