PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric generator using engine cooling water as a low-temperature side heat source and capable of improving warming-up performance of an engine at low-temperature start. SOLUTION: In this thermoelectric generator, exhaust gas from the engine 10 serves as a high-temperature side heat source, and cooling water of the engine 10 serves as the low-temperature side heat source. Power generation is performed by a thermoelectric element 111. Inside an engine cooling water circuit 20 in which cooling water is circulated between the engine 10 and a radiator 21 for cooling the cooling water, a bypass flow passage 22 for bypassing the radiator 21 is provided. The cooling water serving as the low-temperature side heat source is cooling water flowing on flow passages 24a, 24b in the engine side 10 from the bypass flow passage 22.
