At least two other characters were shown to take the mantle of The Red Hood
1. Victoria Beaumont
In Batman Adventures (2003) Issue. #8, The Red Hood is shown to be expanding his (her, to be precise) criminal empire across six cities : Central City, Metropolis, New York, Seattle, Star City and Los Angeles.

By the looks of the costume, one could assume it was The Joker. As told by the creative team (Dan Slott and Ty Templeton) behind the story, this version of Red Hood was actually supposed to be revealed later (which, ironically, never happened).
However, Dan Slott mentioned in a later interview that:
Had it [Batman Adventures] continued, Dan Slott said, The Red Hood would have been revealed as Andrea Beaumont’s mother, Victoria Beaumont, who also happened to be the real head of the Valestra mob. Years ago, she faked her death in an attempt to get her family away from the Valestra mob, and was disappointed to see her family eventually fall into their clutches. However, when she saw what happened to her husband, and what eventually became of her daughter, she felt it was time to not only get revenge on the Valestra mob, but take Gotham for herself. Inevitably, this would have led to a devastating confrontation between her, Batman, and Andrea Beaumont.
2. Unknown character (other than Joker or Jason Todd)
I'm not sure if you'd count this. But Red Hood had a cameo appearance in The Lego Batman Movie. He appeared as one of the villains the Joker uses to attack Commissioner Gordon's retirement party.
The identity of this Red Hood wasn't revealed. However, if Dick Grayson is the Robin here, and the Joker isn't Under the Red Hood (pun intended), it can be assumed this was someone else other than the two. This is also what Wikiwand says.
Does this count?
Lian Harper (daughter of The Arsenal Roy Harper) from Earth-2999. She's mentioned as Red Hood; but I think its more like [Little] Red [Riding] Hood and not the murderous Red Hood we all know.

Thomas Grayson appears as Red Hood in Justice League: Generation Lost. His first appearance is in the Issue 14 and it comes with a handy label. However, it seems here that Re Hood is working with the new Batman rather than against him.

Anders Overbeck, aka Professor Overbeck, also appears as Red Hood in Batman '66 Issues 7 and 8 although he is under the Joker's influence here due to the helmet.
