Nearly all of them, under the right circumstances. Oxygen is an extremely powerful oxidizing agent (gee, I wonder where that name came from...) and will combine with nearly any other element, including some that are fairly powerful oxidizing agents in their own right.

The noble gases don't burn.

Many elements can be burned. Virtually all the nonmetals (except the noble gasses), as well as many metals, such as magnesium, lithium, titanium, and many more. It all depends on how hot you can get it and what you consider burning. Anything will burn if it gets hot enough, though some things will turn to liquids, or even gasses, before they do.
