Other than the Space Transport System from NASA (which are the everyday "space shuttles"), there aren't that many other ones.

The main "other" space shuttle was the Buran Program from the USSR, which had shuttles that looked very much like the American ones. This program was canceled in 1993.

Scaled Composites and Virgin have come together to make the SpaceShip series of craft that are reusable, but they can't be used to get to full orbit.
