A monk's Deflect Missiles ability (PHB p. 78) triggers on the following circumstance:
Starting at 3rd level, you can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack.
Does this work against thrown melee weapons, such as a javelin or dagger?

Yes
From the Equipment chapter of the Basic Rules.
Thrown. If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack.
The attack is a ranged attack using a weapon, which is a "ranged weapon attack"¹, so the Monk feature applies.
¹ The Equipment chapter does not use the phrase "ranged weapon attack" but the Combat chapter does, though only twice (one of which is in the Underwater Combat section).
Ability Modifier. The ability modifier used for a melee weapon attack is Strength, and the ability modifier used for a ranged weapon attack is Dexterity. Weapons that have the finesse or thrown property break this rule.
