We introduce and analyze a new mixed variational formulation for a stationary magnetohydrodynamic flows in porous media problem, whose governing equations are given by the steady Brinkman--Forchheimer equations coupled with the Maxwell equations. Besides the velocity, magnetic field and a Lagrange multiplier asssociated to the divergence-free condition of the magnetic field, a convenient translation of the velocity gradient and the pseudostress tensor are introduced as further unknowns.
