Only three did that- Hayes, Benjamin Harrison and George W. Bush.
John Kennedy may have lost the popular vote- the vote was very close and there was strong suspicion of fraud, especially in Chicago, but the official count was in his favor.
John Q. Adams won the presidency after losing both the popular vote and the electoral vote.

It seems you are asking for 4 presidential elections in which the candidate who won the popular vote did not win the electoral college. Here are four such examples:
- 1824: Andrew Jackson won the popular vote but lost the electoral college to John Quincy Adams.
- 1876: Samuel J. Tilden won the popular vote but lost the electoral college to Rutherford B. Hayes.
- 1888: Grover Cleveland won the popular vote but lost the electoral college to Benjamin Harrison.
- 2000: Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the electoral college to George W. Bush.
