The preparation and the photoluminescence from the Pr
3+-doped CaTiO
3mixture produced by using a mechanochemical method were investigated by using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and luminescence spectrophotometry. In the XRD experiments, a 120 min milling of the CaO-TiO
2mixture made it possible to synthesize CaTiO
3. The CaTiO
3peaks ([121], [040], and [240]) were observed after milling for 150 min. The corresponding emission spectra showed an emission range with a maximum peak at 615 nm. When the molar ratio of the Pr
3+concentration was 0.1 mol%, the emission intensity of the Pr
3+-doped CaTiO
3mixture was higher than it was for the other molar ratios. The intensity of the red emission from the Pr
3+-doped CaTiO
3mixture was enhanced distinctly by increasing the annealing temperature.
