"While the expression "cannibalism" has origins in the act of humans eating other humans, it has extended into zoology to mean the act of any animal consuming members of its own type or kind, including the consumption of mates." (Wikipedia)

So, unless you are the exact same species of monkey, no, it wouldn't be cannibalism for a human to eat a monkey.
