The invention provides a layered high-entropy MAX phase ceramic thermoelectric material and a preparation method thereof. A molecular formula of the layered high-entropy MAX phase ceramic thermoelectric material is Mn+1AXn, M is at least three elements selected from IIIB, IVB, VB and VIB group elements, A is at least one element selected from IIIA, IVA, VA and VIA group elements, X is a carbon element, and n is 1, 2 or 3. The layered high-entropy MAX phase ceramic thermoelectric material is advantaged in that an element ratio in the same position can be regulated and controlled according to actual requirements, the material has a hexagonal crystal system structure, the space group is P63/mmc, a crystal cell is formed by alternately stacking Mn+1Xn units and A-layer atoms in the c direction, and the high-entropy alloy is formed through the design of the combination of more than three M elements so that the high-entropy MAX-phase ceramic thermoelectric material has very wide applicationprospects in the fields of manned spaceflight, national defense war industry, automobile manufacturing, micro-nano electronics and the like, particularly in the fields of thermoelectric power generation, thermoelectric refrigeration and the like.
