If you just want a list of them you can get it from pg_database:

select datname from pg_database;

if you also want the username of the database owner you'll have to
cross pg_database.datdba to pg_user.usesysid something like this:

select d.datname,u.usename from pg_database d, pg_user u where d.datdba = u.usesysid;
