We present the discovery of a transiting hot Jupiter orbiting HIP 67522 ($T_{eff}sim5650$ K; $M_* sim 1.2 M_{odot}$) in the 10-20 Myr old Sco-Cen OB association. We identified the transits in the TESS data using our custom notch-filter planet search pipeline, and characterize the system with additional photometry from Spitzer, spectroscopy from SOAR/Goodman, SALT/HRS, LCOGT/NRES, and SMARTS/CHIRON, and speckle imaging from SOAR/HRCam. We model the photometry as a periodic Gaussian process with transits to account for stellar variability, and find an orbital period of 6.9596$^{+0.000016}_{-0.000015}$ days and radius of 10.02$^{+0.54}_{-0.53}$ R$_oplus$. We also identify a single transit of an additional candidate planet with radius 8.01$^{+0.75}_{-0.71}$ R$_oplus$ that has an orbital period of $gtrsim23$ days. The validated planet HIP 67522 b is currently the youngest transiting hot Jupiter discovered and is an ideal candidate for transmission spectroscopy and radial velocity follow-up studies, while also demonstrating that some young giant planets either form in situ at small orbital radii, or else migrate promptly from formation sites farther out in the disk.
