A thermoelectric conversion unit includes first fluid flow path sections facing each other; a second fluid flow path section between the first fluid flow path sections; a first thermoelectric module between the second fluid flow path section and one of the first fluid flow path sections; a second thermoelectric module between the second fluid flow path section and the other of the first fluid flow path sections; and heat transfer plates in the second fluid flow path section. The heat transfer plates face each other along a direction from the first thermoelectric module toward the second thermoelectric module. At least one of the heat transfer plates includes an opening, and a baffle projecting from a peripheral edge of the opening and being configured to baffle a second fluid passing through the opening to flow in a direction toward the first thermoelectric module or the second thermoelectric module.
