Ra's al Ghul is the only villain I can think of off the top of my head. Oh, and Riddler from Hush
As for friends, don't the members of Justice League all know his true identity, or is it just Superman?

Since Identity Crisis, every hero knows pretty much everyone's secret identities. Even third-stringers like Hawkgirl know Bruce Wayne is Batman and Clark Kent is Superman. It really sucks.
Free your soul and let it fly....
I'm fairly sure Bruce Wayne knows.

Apprently it also extends to their familiy members (Red Tonado's wife apprently know Bruce is Batman as does the Atom's wife)
Bane, Ra's Al Ghul, Hush, Riddler, Red Hood, Dr. Hugo Strange,David Cain,
It is hinted Gordon and Sarah Essen most likely knows, Lucuic Fox must also have suspicisions
By all logic Slade should know after discovering Dick Grayson's identity and then drugging/interrogating Batgirl
The chick from Blind Justice, a girl named Silver something...
It's truly a wonder no one has exposed it yet
Not to mention everyone in the future seems to textbook knowlegde or Batman's identity and all of his other secrets...
Checkmate should know from their affilation with Sasha Borduex*

All stories are imaginary, so you get to decide what's important and what isn't. Continuity is fluid.

Quoted for truth....
Bane knows but considers him like a brother now, or something, so he won't tell anybody. Riddler knew, but he got super-convenient amnesia during the Crisis. Ra's knew, but he's been dead for a while, and even though he's coming back, he wouldn't use that knowledge to publicly discredit Bruce Wayne, just to attack him personally. As Ra's knew, so does his daughter, Talia, who loved Bruce, and their son, Damian. Hush, his childhood friend Tommy Elliot, knows; but like Ra's, is more likely to use the information to attack him personally instead of publicly. Batman's lucky his villains hate him on a personal level instead of a general level or he'd be screwed. Hugo Strange knows. Deathstroke the Terminator probably knows. The Calculator might, but he'd only tell anyone else if they paid him enough, and information like that would be ridiculously expensive.
Leslie Thompkins knows. Azrael knows. Catwoman knows. Oracle knows. Sasha Bordeaux knows. And of course, all of his wards and friends in the League, and via proxy any member of a superhero in the know's family.
Go !@#$ yourself.
I know.
And the Shadow knows. ;)

Apparently, each and every member of the JLA and JSA. All 236 of them, including the insane Starman guy that nobody is sure who he is; Wildcat's kid, who they just met last Tuesday; Ma Hunkle's ditsy grandkid; and anybody who has been within earshot of the JLA and JSA when they've been out in public in the last year.
"Careful, Bruce, somebody might discover your secret identity!"
"Thanks, Clark."
I don't think Sasha would reveal the knowledge to Checkmate. She seemed to be pretty secretive with it with Nightwing during the recent Checkout arc.
