Noncommutative version of D-dimensional relativistic particle is proposed. We consider the particle interacting with the configuration space variable $\theta^{\mu\nu}(\tau)$ instead of the numerical matrix. The corresponding Poincare invariant action has a local symmetry, which allows one to impose the gauge $\theta^{0i}=0, ~ \theta^{ij}=const$. The matrix $\theta^{ij}$ turns out to be the noncommutativity parameter of the gauge fixed formulation. Poincare transformations of the gauge fixed formulation are presented in the manifest form.
