In this paper, we consider the finite element approximation of the distributed optimal control problems of the stationary Bénard type under the pointwise control constraint. The states and the co-states are approximated by polynomial functions of lowest-order mixed finite element space or piecewise linear functions and the control is approximated by piecewise constant functions. We give the superconvergence analysis for the control; it is proved that the approximation has a second-order rate of convergence. We further give the superconvergence analysis for the states and the co-states. Then we derive error estimates in $L^\infty$-norm and optimal error estimates in $L^2$-norm.
