Neither, because it is not an angiosperm (flowering plant). A monocot (monocotyledon) is an angiosperm with one cotyledon (seed-leaf) while a dicot (dicotyledon) is an angiosperms with two cotyledons (seed-leaves). Western red cedars are gymnosperms. A gymnosperm has "naked seeds" meaning that the seeds (ovules) are not found in an ovary but rather on leaves, scales or in cones.

Cedrus species (Cedars) are gymnosperms - i.e. conifers or more generally fir-trees, and therefor are not flowering plants. They have cones instead. Monocot and Dicot refer to flowering plants (angiosperms) only.

A cedar tree is a dicot. Dicots have two seed leaves (cotyledons) while monocots have one. Cedar trees belong to the division Magnoliophyta, which includes dicots.
