Süßer Trost, mein Jesus kömmt (Sweet comfort, my Jesus comes), BWV 151, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it in Leipzig for the third day of Christmas and first performed it on 27 December 1725.

Bach composed this solo cantata in late 1725 in Leipzig, in his third year as Thomaskantor in Leipzig, as part of his third cantata cycle. He wrote it for the church service for the feast day of John the Evangelist, celebrated on the third day of Christmas. The Thomanerchor was used only for the final movement, as with other Bach works for a third consecutive feast day.

The prescribed readings for the feast day were from the Epistle to the Hebrews () and the prologue of the Gospel of John, also called Hymn to the Word (). Bach chose a text by Georg Christian Lehms, who was inspired by the epistle. The final movement is a setting of the final stanza of "Lobt Gott, ihr Christen alle gleich", a carol with words and melody by Nikolaus Herman published in 1560.

Bach first performed the cantata on 27 December 1725. It was performed again between 1728 and 1731. The autograph score and parts are now held by the Kunstsammlungen der Veste Coburg in Germany.

The work is scored for four vocal soloists (soprano, alto, tenor, and bass), a four-part choir, flute, oboe d'amore, two violins, viola, and basso continuo.
