The Fallen World Series is good, by Megan Crewe. I also recommend Rosemarked/Umbertouched by Livia Blackburne.

There are so many good ones listed here! The Ashes Trilogy by Ilsa J. Bick is also an entertaining read. I also enjoyed The White Rabbit Chronicles, a series by Gena Showalter. The first book is Alice In Zombieland. I know there are others I am forgetting that haven't been listed here, but you have a good start!

Marissa Meyers has a series that starts with Renegades. Kind of an apocalyptic dystopia with superheros.

The Jewel is really good. It’s similar to A Handmaid’s Tale, but more like a young adult version of that with supernatural powers.

I second "Matched" and also the "Delirium" Series.

Also, "The Selection" and "Divergent" each have a novella series.

I'm not sure if post-apocalyptic counts as dystopian, but a really great series is the Ashfall series. It is about a supervolcano that erupts. Ash falls from the sky, suffocating humans and animals, and killing any plants. It sets the world into a cataclysmic state. What's scary is that its something that could actually happen. It's very intense and exciting. There's even some romance. The main character is a teenage boy named Alex, and he has to travel by foot to find his family, but he meets a girl along the way and they end up traveling together after her guardian dies from an ambush, causing them to have to flee.
