A list of the Maiar Tolkien speaks of in the Silmarillion - Ilmare, Eonwe, Osse, Uinen, Melian, Olorin (Gandalf/Mithrandir), Sauron (Gorthaur the Cruel), Salmar, Arien, Tilion, Curunir, Radagast, "others of the Istari who went into the east of Middle-earth, and do not come into these tales" (being Alatar and Pallando), and "the Valaraukar, the scourges of fire that in Middle-earth were called the Balrogs, demons of terror."

Thuringwethil and Ungoliant are also possibilities, as is, in the opinion of some, Tom Bombadil. That's another story for another day though.
