Of course there is my personel favroate the old Regulus:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSM-N-8_Regulus
The regulus II had a range of 2,200 km and a speed of mach 2, compare that to the tomahawks range of 2,500 km and wimpy speed of 550 mph. Not bad for a missile from the '50s!

Only one was ever test fired before the program was canceled- cruise missiles were considered too easy to shoot down compared to the Polars SLBM.
