J.S. Bach wrote 6 suites for unaccompanied cello.
not many surprisingly, he only wrote the 6 brandenburg concertos, and the 4 orchestral suites
Bach had written six french suite, he name it french suite is just to differentiate them from english suite, not because these suite are written in french style. French suite is from BWV 812 to BWV 817, Allemande, courante, sarabande and gigue are 4 common dance suite found in six suites. Bach had added different suite between sarabande and gigue, for example, anglaise, gavotte,minuet and trio, polonaise.
J.S. Bach was a very prolific (and great) composer. He wrote over a thousand pieces! He wrote famous pieces for choir, solo instruments (like organ and violin), and orchestra. He is best known for his contrapuntal style (countering voices). His most notable works are: Brandenberg Concertos, Well-Tempered Clavier, English Suites, French Suites Cello Suites, Mass in b minor, and Tocatta and Fugue in d minor, among many others. For a larger list of Bach's compositions, I recommend the wikipedia article "List of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Many differeing "pieces" that can be performed with the cello. Most famous are the cello concertos (traditionally solo cello with orchestra). Some famous concertos are those composed by Schumann, Elgar, Lalo, Hadyn, Dvorak, Shostakovich. There are also numerous sonatas as well: ex: Debussy. There are some other pieces such as Paganini's Variations on One String, Fantasy Pieces, etc. You cannot forget the most famous for solo cello: the Bach Suites.
Assuming you mean J S Bach (as opposed to any of his relatives), there is no single composition which is the most famous. Among the most famous are the St Matthew and St John Passions, the B minor Mass, the Goldberg Variations, the Art of Fugue, the Brandenburg concertos, the cantata Wachet Auf, and the Double Violin concerto. There are many more.

The Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello by Johann Sebastian Bach are some of the most performed and recognizable solo compositions ever written for cello. This were the most famous. Vivaldi wrote several concertos for cello and orchestra. But for some reason it seems that not too many concertos featuring this instrument were written by famous composers. Haydn wrote several (but only two have survived), Dvorak wrote one, as did Elgar, and Shostakovich wrote two. Both Beethoven and Brahms wrote sonatas for cello and piano.
