We report the detection of the nova candidate M31N 2011-01b (seehttp://www.mpe.mpg.de/~m31novae/opt/m31/index.php; also designated "PNV J00423907+4113258" at http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/tocp.html) as a supersoft X-ray source (SSS) in four Swift X-ray telescope (XRT) observations in June 2011, about 140 days after its optical outburst on 2011-01-16.52 UT. The SSS was already present in three Chandra High-Resolution Camera Imaging Detector (HRC-I) monitoring observations of the central region of M 31 in February 2011, as early as 32 days after outburst.
