I've already mentioned three of my favorite westerns (Lonesome Dove, Unforgiven, and Warlock) but there are a ton more. I'll break them up into various categories. Usually by the movie's main star but also into groups like Spaghetti westerns and comedies.

Comedies:

Horses Collars (1935)
Lightning Jack (1994)
Three Amigos! (1986)
The Law West of Tombstone (1938)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) (Obviously not an all out comedy but a lot of it is pretty light)
Spaghetti Westerns (non Sergio Leone):

Da uomo a uomo aka "Death Rides a Horse" (1967)
Une corde, un Colt... aka "Cemetery Without Crosses" (1969)
Il Grande silenzio aka "The Great Silence" (1968)
Bandidos (1967)
Noir Westerns:
The line between film noir and the new "psychological" western of the 50s blurred in the the late 40s.
Pursued (1947) (Robert Mitchum)
The Badlanders (1958) (Based on The Asphalt Jungle. Alan Ladd and Ernest Bornine.)
Colorado Territory (1949) (Based on High Sierra. Joel McCrea)
Ramrod (1947) (Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake)
Gregory Peck's "Yellow Sky" has noir-ish lighting but the plot is based on The Tempest
If you like these noir westerns you might also like Robert Mitchum's "Blood on the Moon" too. It's not one of my favorites but different strokes for different folks.
B Movies and Oddities:
Tribute to a Bad Man (1956) (Jimmy Cagney)
The Ride Back (1957) (Anthony Quinn and William Conrad)
Rough Night in Jericho (1967) (Dean Martin and George Peppard)

Semi-westerns:
I don't usually like westerns that take place after 1890 or so. There are some that still have a western feel so I'll include them anyway.
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
The Walking Hills (1949) (Randolph Scott)
Seen every western ever made? Why not try some Easterns?
Yeah, they aren't the same, but some of them have a similar vibe imo.
Last of the Mohicans (1936)
Beau Geste (1926)
Beau Geste (1939)
The Lives of a Bengal Lancer (1935)
The Four Feathers (1939)
The Deceivers (1988)
Northwest Territory (1951)
