Yes the dirac comb for example. Actually there are infinitely many.

A question I hadn't even thought to ask, thanks.

So, basically, the eigenfunctions of the Fourier transform are Hermite polynomials times a Gaussian [0] [1].

As well as the linear combinations (including infinite sums!) of Hermite functions with the same eigenvalue under the Fourier transform. (Those eigenvalues are infinitely degenerate). You could express sech(x) as such a sum.
