"Tomtegubben som hade snuva", also known as "En liten tomtegubbe satt en gång", is a Swedish children's song from 1915, written by Felix Körling. The song depicts a little tomte suffering from rhinitis, but becoming healthy again after, advised by his wife, getting medicine by "Doktor Mullvad"/"(Doctor Mole)".

The song is often used as a Christmas song, even if the word Christmas isn't mentioned, and it's not made clear whether the main character is Santa Claus (Swedish: jultomten) (or one of his elves) or the old traditional "tomte".
