In Tosfot Shabbat 39b, they cite Harav Rabenu Yonah:
וה"ר יונה מפרש בטלה אפי' בקדירה חייתא והיינו דקאמר בטלה משמע לגמרי מכל דבר:
He is not in the list of Baale Tosfot in Wikipedia. He also seems to not be mentioned in Shem Hagedolim. I don't think it's the Rabenu Yonah Girondi who is from Chachme Sfarad. Who is this Rabenu Yonah?
According to R' Issar Kliger in the introduction to his book Rabbi Yehudah bar Ilai, pp. 32-33 it is indeed Rabbeinu Yonah of Girondi. He brings a list of other places in Tosfot where he's mentioned.
R' Yehudah Taub in Biurim Bedinei Shehiyah, Chazarah v'Hatmanah, p. 139 also quotes this Tosfot and refers to him as Rabbeinu Yonah.
According to Wikipedia, this was also the view of Leopold Zunz.
Bear in mind that the Tosfot were still being compiled and edited well into the 14th-15th centuries if I'm not mistaken, and occasionally non-Tosafist rabbis are mentioned, so it's not such a wild thing to see him mentioned there.
