Many of the races from the Advanced Race Guide have darkvision. Dhampir and Ratfolk come immediately to mind. I expect there are many others, but I'm not off-hand familiar with all those races so I don't know for sure which ones. I would have to Google it for you, but I'd rather let you Google it for yourself.
The best place to start is Pathfinder SRD. 10 minutes of clicking through those races and you can compile your own list. Ironically, faster even than waiting for answers here, with the added advantage of familiarizing yourself with some new races you might not have even known about.
I hope that helps.
The following races begin play with darkvision by default, but please note that feats, class abilities, and alternate racial traits can grant jsut about anyone darkvision:

Anything outside that list is generally considered an out and out monster (which you could play too, provided you have a generous GM).
Half-elves also have the option for darkvision if they go drow blooded, but that also comes with light blindness. Being blinded for a round and then dazzled for the rest of the battle....to the aasimar's almost useless SLA mind you.... sucks.

That almost useless spell-like ability would blind said half-elf. It even allows him to qualify for prestige classes and magic item creation feats more easily. Hardly useless.
Well, I mean on its own. an SLA can be useful for just existing, but that specific spell has only very limited usage. It only works against creatures with very specific weaknesses and it counters darkness. Admittedly useful, but the archon blooded version with continual flame does it just as well and provides the party with a...continual light source; plus I remember the idea of a OCD aasimar that used it on everything and when his house actually caught on fire he couldn't tell where it was. That just gives me a smile.
Anyway, it still isn't no glitterdust, see invisibility, or alter self here. That is all I am saying. The tiefling's darkness SLA at least provided a tactic that could be routinely used. Daylight is more of a band-aid.
