A new mixed variational formulation of the equations of stationary incompressible magneto-hydrodynamics is introduced and analyzed. The formulation is based on curl-conforming Sobolev spaces for the magnetic variables and is shown to be well-posed in (possibly non-convex) Lipschitz polyhedra. A finite element approximation is proposed where the hydrodynamic unknowns are discretized by standard inf-sup stable velocity-pressure space pairs and the magnetic ones by a mixed approach using Nedelec's elements of the first kind. An error analysis is carried out that shows that the proposed finite element approximation leads to quasi-optimal error bounds in the mesh-size.
