My favorite DI container is LightInject. Very fast and has all the features that I need. Other good DI containers are Grace and SimpleInjector, IMO.
What are some alternatives?

Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
Autofac - An addictive .NET IoC container
Simple Injector - An easy, flexible, and fast Dependency Injection library that promotes best practice to steer developers towards the pit of success.

Castle Windsor - Castle Windsor is a best of breed, mature Inversion of Control container available for .NET
Ninject - the ninja of .net dependency injectors
StructureMap - A Dependency Injection/Inversion of Control tool for .NET
Unity - This repository contains all relevant information about Unity Container suit
