Jesus Wept is the third album by American hip hop group P.M. Dawn. It was released in October 1995 via Gee Street Records, and was unable to attain the success of the group's first two albums, Of the Heart, of the Soul and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience and The Bliss Album...? (Vibrations of Love and Anger and the Ponderance of Life and Existence).

The album's highest charting single was "Downtown Venus", which contained a sample of Deep Purple's "Hush". The single reached number 48 on the Billboard Hot 100 and crossed over to alternative radio, resulting in the song peaking at number 39 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/search/albums/jesus+wept|title=Album Search for "jesus wept"|website=AllMusic}}
