technically neither;
homographs are two words written the same way but with different meaning.
homophones are two words that sound the same but written differently.
homonyms are somewhat a combination: written and sound the same, but have different meaning.
since synonym means "having the same meaning" you might get away with considering a homograph a synonym of homonym, but it's best to be precise in these cases.
