DAMPE observation on the cosmic ray electron spectrum hints a narrow excessat $\sim$ 1.4 TeV. Although the excess can be ascribed to dark matterparticles, pulsars and pulsar wind nebulae are believed to be a more naturalastrophysical origin: electrons injected from nearby pulsars at their earlyages can form a bump-like feature in the spectrum due to radiative energylosses. In this paper, with a survey of nearby pulsars, we find 4 pulsars thatmay have notable contributions to $\sim$ 1.4 TeV cosmic ray electrons. Amongthem, PSR J0855$-$4644 has a spin down luminosity more than 50 times higherthan others and presumably dominates the electron fluxes from them. X-rayobservations on the inner compact part (which may represent a tunnel for thetransport of electrons from the pulsar) of PWN G267.0$-$01.0 are then used toconstrain the spectral index of high energy electrons injected by the pulsar.We show that high-energy electrons released by PSR J0855$-$4644 could indeedreproduce the 1.4 TeV spectral feature hinted by the DAMPE with reasonableparameters.

Is PSR J0855$-$4644 responsible for the 1.4 TeV electron spectral bump hinted by DAMPE?
