Barbary macaques have no tail.
Also, apes. Don't let anyone tell you that we, apes, are not monkeys. We are old world monkeys. We are catarrhini monkeys.
So there's your answer. Barbary macaques and apes. I don't know of any other monkeys with no tail.
Almost every monkey species.
Exceptions are barbary macaques and apes (orangutans, gorillas, chimps and bonobos, humans), which cladistically speaking are old world monkeys (catarrhini monkeys).
But according to the traditional (unscientific) meaning of "monkey", barbary macaques seem to be the only exception, because apes are not monkeys (although our common ancestor with any monkey was, in turn, a monkey, the word "monkey" is traditional, and seems to imply that, as a branch of monkeys, we have been unmonkeyfied at some point, or something).
The conventional distinction between monkeys and apes is that moneys have tails and apes do not. The apes (without tails) are chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas, & humans. If it has a tail, it's a monkey.
The so-called Barbary ape is actually a monkey with a vestigial tail:

Also, cladistically (scientifically) speaking, apes (including humans), can be classified as monkeys. Old world monkeys, catarrhini monkeys, have nostrils pointing down and a cartilaginous structure in the middle.
A tailless monkey is a type of monkey that has no tail. It should not be confused with any of the Great Apes, many of which do not have tails.
the only monkey without a tail is the Barbary Macaque. otherwise, if it has no tail, it is an ape.
