A Midsummer Night's Dream is not a story. It is a play, a set of words and instructions which when acted out, make an entertainment you can watch and in which a story (or in this case three or four stories) is told. None of these stories (the young lovers story, the amateur play story, the fairy story, and perhaps the royal wedding story) is a good guy/bad guy story, so their is no character who is a villain. You could say that Oberon's trick on Titania is kind of mean (although she forgives him); you could say that Demetrius is hard-hearted to pursue Hermia when she doesn't love him, and his treatment of Helena is often very mean (but in the end he marries her); you could say Egeus was selfish in insisting that his daughter marry the man of his choice, not hers (like a million Pantaloons in a million comedies); you could say that Theseus is less than just in enforcing the law against Hermia (although he changes his mind). But none of this makes these characters villains

The main "villain" in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is often considered to be Egeus, Hermia's father. He represents authority and opposes his daughter's desire to marry the man she loves, creating conflict in the play. However, the term "villain" is not as straightforward in this comedic play as in other Shakespearean works.

Puck is Oberon's henchman, if that is what you are asking.
