Late type non-starburst galaxies have been shown to contain X-ray emittingobjects, some being ultraluminous X-ray sources. We report on XMM-Newtonobservations of 11 nearby, late-type galaxies previously observed with theHubble Space Telescope (HST) in order to find such objects. We found 18 X-raysources in or near the optical extent of the galaxies, most being point-like.If associated with the corresponding galaxies, the source luminosities rangefrom $2 \times 10^{37}$ erg s$^{-1}$ to $6 \times 10^{39}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Wefound one ultraluminous X-ray source, which is in the galaxy IC 5052, and onesource coincident with the galaxy IC 4662 with a blackbody temperature of$0.166 \pm 0.015$ keV that could be a quasi-soft source or a quiescent neutronstar X-ray binary in the Milky Way. One X-ray source, XMMU J205206.0$-$691316,is extended and coincident with a galaxy cluster visible on an HST image. TheX-ray spectrum of the cluster reveals a redshift of $z = 0.25 \pm 0.02$ and atemperature of 3.6$\pm$0.4 keV. The redshift was mainly determined by a clusterof Fe XXIV lines between the observed energy range $0.8-1.0$ keV.
