Let's do this chronologically, there are tons that could be mentioned but I will only name the most notable of each era:

-Sargon of Akkad - King of Akkad, conqueror of the whole Fertile Crescent.
-Thutmosis III - Pharaoh of Egypt, conqueror of the Levant.
-Suppiluliuma I - King of the Hittites, conqueror of the Mitanni and Egyptian territories in the Levant.
-Tiglath-Pileser III - King of Assyria, conqueror of most of his known world including Babylonia, Urartu, the Levant, and others.
-Cyrus The Great - Shah of Iran, conqueror of most of his known world as well,including the Neo-Babylonian empire, the kingdom of Lydia and many tribes of Eastern Iran and Central Asia.
- Darius I - Shah of Persia, won the first Persian civil war and made himself Shah, he then fought successfully to bring the empire under his command and later conquered new territory in the Punjab and the Balkans.
-Alexander the Great - Basileus of Macedon, conquered the Persian Empire.
-Chandragupta Maurya - Emperor of India, brought most of the Indian subcontinent under his control.
-Hannibal Barca - Carthaginian General, not very successful as a conqueror but worth mentioning as a skilled general who invaded Roman Italy and stirred up plenty of trouble for the Romans.
-Scipio Africanus - Roman General, conqueror of Carthage's Spanish territory and vanquisher of Hannibal, which assured Roman hegemony over Carthage
-Xiang Yu - Hegemon of Western Chu (China)
-Julius Caesar - Roman triumvir and later dictator, conqueror of Gaul and winner of a civil war that earned him most of the Roman Empire, similar as a conqueror to Darius in this sense
-Han Wudi - Emperor of China, not sure if he actually conducted his wars, but under his reign China brought most of Tarim Basin under her banner and started the process of weakening the Xiognu
-Cao Cao - Chancellor of Han, carved a huge chunk of the corpse of the Han empire for himself and laid the seeds for a new state that would eventually reunite China (albeit under a different family)
