We define relative support varieties with respect to some fixed module over a finite-dimensional algebra. These varieties share many of the standard properties of classical support varieties. Moreover, when introducing finite-generation conditions on cohomology, we show that relative support varieties contain homological information on the modules involved. As an application, we provide a new criterion for a selfinjective algebra to be of wild representation type.
