There's also olive pomace oil [1], which doesn't come from the flesh of the olive. It is technically olive oil, but is not allowed to be labeled as such.

The packaging of olive pomace oil can be deceiving though. If it seems suspiciously cheap, make sure that the label indeed reads "olive oil".

It does come from the flesh tho (read the link) it's chemically extracted from the pulp after the mechanical pressing is finished.
