We have tried to improve the n-type thermoelectric properties of the electron-doped Perovskite Sr$$_{1-x}$$La$$_{x}$$TiO$$_{3}$$ by a Mn substitution. The 1-2% Mn substitution enhances the Seebeck coefficient ($$S$$) and reduces the thermal conductivity ($$kappa$$) by about 50% at room temperature (RT) without largely increasing the resistivity for the 5% electron-doped SrTiO$$_{3}$$. Consequently, the power factor at RT keeps a large value comparable to that of Bi$$_{2}$$Te$$_{3}$$ and the dimensionless figure-of-merits at RT increases twofold by the slight Mn substitution. Such a large reduction of $$kappa$$ at RT is perhaps due to the effect of Jahn-Teller active Mn$$^{3+}$$ ions, around which dynamical local lattice distortion may occur.
