Looking only at US Presidents, there were four who won the election despite getting less votes than their opponent: most recently George W. Bush, and before him Benjamin Harrison (1888), Rutherford B. Hayes (1876) and John Quincy Adams (1824).
As things look today (the day after the election) Donald Trump may well be the fifth President to win the election while getting less votes than the other candidate. It's a consequence of the 'winner takes all'-system that most US States have.
