For second order linear elliptic problems it is proved that the \(P_ 1\)- nonconforming finite element method has the same \(L^{\infty}\)- asymptotic accuracy as the \(P_ 1\)-conforming one. This result is applied to derive optimal \(L^{\infty}\)-error estimates for both the displacement and the stress fields of the lowest order Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element method, and a superconvergence result at the barycenter of each element.
