jats:pWe report the discovery of a remarkable Lyjats:italicα</jats:italic> emitting galaxy at jats:italicz</jats:italic> = 7.2782, JADES-GS+53.16746−27.7720 (shortened to JADES-GS-z7-LA), with rest-frame equivalent width, EWjats:sub0</jats:sub>(Lyjats:italicα</jats:italic>) = 388.0 ± 88.8 Å and UV magnitude −17.0. The spectroscopic redshift is confirmed via rest-frame optical lines [O jats:scII</jats:sc>], Hjats:italicβ</jats:italic> and [O jats:scIII</jats:sc>] in its JWST/NIRSpec Micro-Shutter Assembly (MSA) spectrum. The Lyjats:italicα</jats:italic> line is detected in both lower resolution (jats:italicR</jats:italic> ∼ 100) PRISM as well as medium resolution (jats:italicR</jats:italic> ∼ 1000) jats:italicG</jats:italic>140jats:italicM</jats:italic> grating spectra. The line spread function-deconvolved Lyjats:italicα</jats:italic> full width at half maximum in the grating is 383.9 ± 56.2 km sjats:sup−1</jats:sup> and the Lyjats:italicα</jats:italic> velocity offset compared to the systemic redshift is 113.3 ± 80.0 km sjats:sup−1</jats:sup>, indicative of very little neutral gas or dust within the galaxy. We estimate the Lyjats:italicα</jats:italic> escape fraction to be > 70%. JADES-GS-z7-LA has a [O jats:scIII</jats:sc>]/[O jats:scII</jats:sc>] ratio (O32) of 11.1 ± 2.2 and a ([O jats:scIII</jats:sc>] + [O jats:scII</jats:sc>])/Hjats:italicβ</jats:italic> ratio (R23) of 11.2 ± 2.6, consistent with low metallicity and high ionization parameters. Deep NIRCam imaging also revealed a close companion source (separated by 0.23″), which exhibits similar photometry to that of JADES-GS-z7-LA, with a photometric excess in the jats:italicF</jats:italic>410jats:italicM</jats:italic> NIRCam image consistent with [O jats:scIII</jats:sc>] + Hjats:italicβ</jats:italic> emission at the same redshift. The spectral energy distribution of JADES-GS-z7-LA indicates a “bursty” star formation history, with a low stellar mass of ≈10jats:sup7</jats:sup> jats:italicM</jats:italic>jats:sub⊙</jats:sub>. Assuming that the Lyjats:italicα</jats:italic> transmission through the intergalactic medium is the same as its measured escape fraction, an ionized region of size > 1.5 pMpc is needed to explain the high Lyjats:italicα</jats:italic> EW and low velocity offset compared to systemic seen in JADES-GS-z7-LA. Owing to its UV-faintness, we show that it is incapable of single-handedly ionizing a region large enough to explain its Lyjats:italicα</jats:italic> emission. Therefore, we suggest that JADES-GS-z7-LA (and possibly the companion source) may be a part of a larger overdensity, presenting direct evidence of overlapping ionized bubbles at jats:italicz</jats:italic> > 7.</jats:p>
