DAMPE observation on the cosmic ray electron spectrum hints a narrow excess at ∼1.4 TeV. Although the excess can be ascribed to dark matter particles, pulsars and pulsar wind nebulae are believed to be more natural astrophysical origins: electrons injected from nearby pulsars at their early ages can form a bump-like feature in the spectrum due to radiative energy losses. In this paper, with a survey of nearby pulsars, we filter out four pulsars that may have notable contributions to ∼1.4 TeV cosmic ray electrons. Among them, PSR J0855-4644 has a spin-down luminosity more than 50 times higher than others and presumably dominates the electron fluxes from them. X-ray observations on the inner compact part (which may represent a tunnel for the transport of electrons from the pulsar) of PWN G267.0-01.0 are then used to constrain the spectral index of high-energy electrons injected by the pulsar. We show that high-energy electrons released by PSR J0855-4644 could indeed reproduce the 1.4 TeV spectral feature hinted by the DAMPE with reasonable parameters.
