Massive stars emit X-rays. Despite modest X-ray luminosities of single hot massive stars, the ongoing large observing campaigns combining X-ray and UV spectroscopy provide a tomographic view of stellar winds. It is now established that X-ray radiation is modulated with stellar rotation and shows the same period as discrete absorption components (DACs) in the UV resonance lines. The latter are associated with corotating interaction regions (CIRs) in stellar winds, therefore the mechanisms responsible for generation of X-rays and CIRs appear to be physically linked. Binary massive stars with accreting compact companions – high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) – are routinely observed by modern X-ray observatories at Mpc distances. Joint observations in X-ray and UV allow to determine realistic properties of these systems. The brightest sources among HMXBs are ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). Their powerful radiation is an important source of stellar feedback. HMXBs are the products of massive binary evolution and are typically found in the vicinity of young massive star clusters. The superstar clusters blow hot superbubbles which fill large areas in star-forming dwarf galaxies. Recent models show that X-ray emission from superbubbles is likely the dominant source of He ii ionization in metal-poor star-forming dwarf galaxies. To conclude, X-ray observations provide an important window for studying massive stars and their feedback near and far.
