In this paper, we consider the adaptive finite element approximation for the distributed optimal control associated with the stationary Bénard problem under the pointwise control constraint. The states and co-states are approximated by polynomial functions of lowest-order mixed finite element space or piecewise linear functions and control is approximated by piecewise constant functions. We give the a posteriori error estimates for the control, the states and co-states.
