We report on the discovery of a new heavily polluted white dwarf. The DAZ white dwarf GALEX J193156.8+011745 was identified in a joint  Galaxy Evolution Explorer  ( GALEX )/GSC survey of ultraviolet‐excess objects. Optical spectra obtained at ESO New Technology Telescope show strong absorption lines of magnesium and silicon, and a detailed abundance analysis based on Very Large Telescope‐Kueyen UVES spectra reveal super‐solar abundances of silicon and magnesium and near‐solar abundances of oxygen, calcium and iron. The overall abundance pattern bears the signature of on‐going accretion on to the white dwarf atmosphere. The infrared spectral energy distribution shows an excess in the  H  and  K  bands likely associated with the accretion source.
