Do you mean in the steering wheel?
It could be that you need the wheels rebalancing - the simplest fix, or something more serious needing garage work. Start with the wheel balance and then if they are all fine it will need more investigation. Other things it might be are warped discs, worn suspension bushes, sticky brake caliper, bashed wheel, dodgy tyres etc etc.
Does it change with speed?
Does it get worse under braking?
Is any one wheel hotter than another after a drive?
Are all the tyres the same and have similar tread depth?
Any sign of damage on a wheel or tyre (lumps or bulges)
Suspension OK?

Yes, the steering wheel.
When I drive I recognise a little vibration in the steering wheel.
I can feel in my feet on the brake or accelerator.
It sounds like it is coming from the engine.
Does it change with speed? -----I think NO
Does it get worse under braking?--------No
Is any one wheel hotter than another after a drive?----------I did not check it so I will check it tomorrow.
Are all the tyres the same and have similar tread depth?------It looks OK
Any sign of damage on a wheel or tyre (lumps or bulges)-----I think NO
Suspension OK?-------------I did not check it.
