We present the discoveries of KELT-25b (TIC 65412605, TOI-626.01) and KELT-26b (TIC 160708862, TOI-1337.01), two transiting companions orbiting relatively bright, early A-stars. The transit signals were initially detected by the KELT survey, and subsequently confirmed by textit{TESS} photometry. KELT-25b is on a 4.40-day orbit around the V = 9.66 star CD-24 5016 ($T_{rm eff} = 8280^{+440}_{-180}$ K, $M_{star}$ = $2.18^{+0.12}_{-0.11}$ $M_{odot}$), while KELT-26b is on a 3.34-day orbit around the V = 9.95 star HD 134004 ($T_{rm eff}$ =$8640^{+500}_{-240}$ K, $M_{star}$ = $1.93^{+0.14}_{-0.16}$ $M_{odot}$), which is likely an Am star. We have confirmed the sub-stellar nature of both companions through detailed characterization of each system using ground-based and textit{TESS} photometry, radial velocity measurements, Doppler Tomography, and high-resolution imaging. For KELT-25, we determine a companion radius of $R_{rm P}$ = $1.64^{+0.039}_{-0.043}$ $R_{rm J}$, and a 3-sigma upper limit on the companions mass of $sim64~M_{rm J}$. For KELT-26b, we infer a planetary mass and radius of $M_{rm P}$ = $1.41^{+0.43}_{-0.51}$ $M_{rm J}$ and $R_{rm P}$ = $1.940^{+0.060}_{-0.058}$ $R_{rm J}$. From Doppler Tomographic observations, we find KELT-26b to reside in a highly misaligned orbit. This conclusion is weakly corroborated by a subtle asymmetry in the transit light curve from the textit{TESS} data. KELT-25b appears to be in a well-aligned, prograde orbit, and the system is likely a member of a cluster or moving group.
