We present a catalog of 26 faint submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) in the XMM-LSS field identified by cross-matching serendipitously detected sources in archival ALMA Band 6 and 7 data with multi-band near-infrared (NIR) and optical data from the Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey, the VISTA Deep Extragalactic Survey, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Large Survey, and the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program. Of the 26 SMGs in our sample, 15 are identified here for the first time. The majority of the sources in our sample (16/26) have faint submm fluxes ($0.1,{rm mJy} < S_{rm 1,mm} < 1,{rm mJy}$). In addition to the 26 SMGs with multi-band optical and NIR detections, there are 60 highly-reliable ($>5sigma$) ALMA sources with no counterpart in any other band down to an IRAC [4.5] $AB$ magnitude of $approx 23.7$. To further characterize the 26 galaxies with both ALMA and optical/NIR counterparts, we provide 13-band forced photometry for the entire catalog using the Tractor and calculate photometric redshifts and rest-frame colors. The median redshift of our sample is $langle z rangle = 2.66$. We find that our sample galaxies have bluer colors compared to bright SMGs, and the UVJ color plot indicates that their colors are consistent with main sequence star-forming galaxies. Our results provide new insights into the nature of the faint population of SMGs, and also highlight opportunities for galaxy evolution studies based on archival ALMA data.
